GREAT way to experience the British museum - Sheldon was great! He knew a lot behind each piece and made the museum come alive with stories and history. He helped us navigate the massive museum—extremely worth it!

A "storming success" - I arranged this tour for a group attending meetings in London. They loved it! One of the attendees said it was a "storming success". I couldn't have hoped for more.

Poorly organized - The tour is advertised as having plans in place to see Changing of the Guard but the tour guide was unaware of planned closures for the marathon and hadn’t planned to be able to see it. We missed the primary focus of the tour.
