Top Notch Tour! - This is an excellent tour. Our tour guide, Stephanie K, was super knowledgeable and did a great job putting the various things we saw into a historic context. The museum can get quite busy but she did a great job of hitting the highlights and getting us to places where we could see the items and discuss them. Highly recommended!

Secrets of the British Museum - Laurence is so funny, this guy knows it all. Great tour ask him anything and he will point you in the right direction, he went beyond, phoned a friend and got me a reservation for afternoon tea at Raffles right after the tour. Take the first tour, place gets crowded.

Steph rocks! - Steph was an incredibly amazing guide. Her knowledge of the British History museum was stellar and her depth of understanding of the Art museum was even more impressive! Her narrative was among the best of the many tour guides we have experienced and the way she brought history, and especially the paintings we viewed to life was inspirational. I can truly say that I have a new understanding of Art and the meaning behind the paintings, in context of the time and environment they were painted in. Her enthusiasm and passion for the items we saw made this a very special activity. Do not miss a chance to take this tour with Steph!

Each of these venues is... - Each of these venues is worth multiple days but Sheldon hit the highlights (and interesting overlooked gems) in two hours.
