Ask for Becky! - Becky is a superb guide. She clearly loves to share information with her guests. Becky has a history degree and knows so much, and she shares it clearly and understandably. She makes history fun. She’s always ready to answer questions. And she knows just how to get around in the museum and avoid crowds. We loved our tour with Becky. She’s a real standout!

Excellent full day tour for family of 4 adults - Becky gave our family of 4 an excellent tour of the British Museum and National Gallery. She was knowledgeable and engaging, answering all our questions in depth. While it is impossible to see a fraction of each museum in the short time we had, she did a great job focusing on the highlights and “must see” items. Thanks again, Becky, for a wonderful day!

Great tour! Great tour guide with Nathan! - I think you have struck gold with Nathan. He was absolutely great! We were with me, my mom and my three teenage sons. We wanted to see some highlights and Nathan didn’t disappoint. He was engaging, had incredible knowledge and told us tidbits that kept us interested and ready to see what was next. He was funny, happy to talk about history (I am a history teacher myself), and kept us moving. To be able to see what we saw in 2 hours was an accomplishment, and he made sure we saw the few things we definitely wanted to see. Nathan was the reason we had a great time and he is a wonderful addition to your tours!

Semi private tour - Our family really enjoyed our young, friendly and knowledgeable tour guide, Cecily. She has made our visit to the British Museum interesting and engaging. It would not have been the same without her amazing presence and stories. Thanks again for the wonderful experience!

Great British Museum Tour - Matilda was a great guide, we did a full tour and she was able to provide lots of details and fun facts we would have missed if we had gone to the museum on our own. I would highly recommend her!

Only wish it was longer - James was the most incredible guide. He was so knowledgeable, the tour gave a great overview of the museum, Jane’s answered our random questions readily. The tour seemed to end so fast. Worth every penny and I’m already recommending it to my family and friends.

Fantastic tour. - Guy our guide had the most amazing knowledge and infectious enthusiasm. It was so worth having the guided tour - you get so much more out of it than walking through by yourself. Highly recommend.

Great private tour, thoroughly enjoyable! - James showed us a great time and the tour was a huge success! We went as a group of work colleagues during a group summit and the feedback I got was very positive. James was energetic but also calm and easy to listen to. I would highly recommend this tour!
