One of the highlights of our trip to London - I wouldn't hesitate to book this tour of the British Museum with Robert. It was one of the highlights of our stay in London. He is enthusiastic and knowledgeable. We learned so much more than if we had just toured the museum ourselves.

Robert did an exceptional... - Robert did an exceptional job in showing us around the British Museum. He was a wealth of knowledge and we learned a lot. We would not have known a lot of the history if he had not explained it to us. You could tell he was enthusiastic about history. The museum is so large that we would have walked around aimlessly if we had not had him as our guide. I would definitely recommend Robert for a tour of the British Museum.

British Museum with Kids - Wow. I did not expect such a dynamic, stress free experience. From the very first contact our guide was intelligent, timely, and listened to our interests. He was engaging, smart, and sure knew his way around. What a great day at the British Museum.

Fantastic guide! - Robert was fantastic! He provided such amazing insights into some of the artifacts at the museum. We learned more with him in 3 hours than we could have learned in a year exploring on our own!

Highlights and hidden treasures! Worth every penny! - Robert is a fantastic guide. His knowledge and love of the British Museum made the tour both informative and engaging. Robert arrived early, and he was the first person in the queue. We went in the back entrance and beat the crowds. In addition to the highlights, Robert showed us a lot of hidden gems. He explained what was special about so many things that we would have just walked by without a second glance. Robert was so good that we may book one of his other tours.

A British Museum Tour with Robert: Like a Masterclass, But with Fewer Exams and More Mummies - The British Museum is a place so packed with history that it makes you question what you’ve been doing with your life. And if you’re lucky enough to explore it with Robert, you’ll walk away not just fascinated but genuinely enlightened (and possibly rethinking your entire career path in the humanities). Robert was everything you could want in a guide—patient, knowledgeable, and completely unflappable in the face of our many, many questions. He had that rare gift of making ancient artifacts feel not just impressive but personal, like he was casually introducing us to old friends from Mesopotamia. The museum itself is overwhelming in the best way—rooms upon rooms of wonders from every corner of the globe, each one more jaw-dropping than the last. But Robert made it feel approachable, weaving together stories and context that turned what could have been an aimless wander into a true journey through time. If you ever get the chance to tour the British Museum with Robert, seize it. You’ll leave feeling smarter, more curious, and just a little smug about how much history you now casually know.
