Highlights
  • The British Museum - Begin your half day experience by exploring the cultures and civilizations through the monumental collection at the British Museum spanning 6000 years of human history. It features items from all over the world like Samurai armor and rare Assyrian lion hunt reliefs. Your guide will take a serious but enjoyable approach towards the museum’s galleries, discussing primitive tribes and fallen empires through a carefully chosen selection of items. You’ll learn about the Mummy of Katebet, the Lewis Chessmen, and the Rosetta Stone – the actual rock, not the language learning program. Walk away with an understanding of what we humans have achieved during our short history and hopefully you’ll be proud to call yourself a part of this incredible species.

Great and intimate tour - Ivo was an excellent guide! Extremely knowledgeable about the ins and outs of the museum. He guided us to not only some of the most famous artifacts but also some really interesting small items that we would not have known or missed otherwise. We highly recommend booking with him!
