Great experience, great/knowledgeable guide, and amazing treasures from the past!! - This was a great experience, and my first time visiting this museum. The guide was nice, knowledgeable, and overall friendly. The collections within the museum were amazing, especially if you enjoy history!!

Wonderful tour and great guide! - We had Joe, who was an enthusiastic and very knowledgeable guide. He created comparisons to modern day, to depict what it may have been like, or was like, 2,000 to 6,000 years ago.

Great experience - Our guide was very knowledgeable and helped hit the highlights on a very busy day. We never looked at the museum map—didn’t have to.

Excellent guide, tons of information - Tour focuses on highlights, but guide accommodates special requests if group is very small. We had only two people. Denise was great.

Very interesting, but very talkative guide - Our guide was very knowledgeable and passionate about the British Museum. She also told very detailed stories about museum exhibits, which were interesting. However, given that we only had 2 hours for the tour, I would have preferred cutting back on the long stories and spending more time seeing more exhibits.

Not worth the money - The guide was not audible as the group size was far too large for the venue. We observed other tour groups at the British Museum being led with wireless audio devices so they could actually hear the guide. Would recommend finding that kind of service.

Guide didn’t show up - We were on time, waited 20 minutes where we were supposed to, guide never showed up. Called the number we were given. Went to voice mail. Very disappointed. We bought a guide and went around ourselves.

Self guide for free - Was given front entrance as meet spot. Security wouldn't allow entrance at front. We went to back entrance and walked through museum to front entrance. Could never locate our guide. Phone number given went directly to voice mail. We self guided and enjoyed the displays. Im disappointed to be out of $140.
