Great Tour of the British Museum with Luca - Luca was pretty awesome and gave us detailed info on a lot of the attractions, e.g. the Reading Room, remnants of the Seven Wonders of the World, and the Rosetta Stone. The kids found all the extra knowledge very interesting and we had a great time at the British Museum.

Great tour of the British Museum. - We had a wonderful tour with our guide, Luca Gavasci. He was knowledgeable and friendly. Luca managed to overcome the overwhelming nature of the British Museum by helping us notice and understand the logic behind the exhibits. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with him.
