Outstanding tour - Fantastic overview of key delights in the British museum imparted in a fun informative manner . Colin was truly excellent as a guide , he gave right amount of detail and tour was a perfect length . Highly recommend if like us you go to a museum and are overwhelmed by the huge amount on offer and want to be more actively engaged than just listening to an audio guide . Highly recommend

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!
