Super guide and fabulous day out. - Ivo was a fantastic guide on an amazing experience. He made so much of the Museum come to life and was so knowledgeable about every area. We had two kids -7 & 9 - and he was so patient and good to them. Truly great day out and well worth it.

A few hours revisiting Earth history - The museum is an excellent facility with an amazing collection but the difference was made by our tour guide - Ivo - who managed to bring into the conversation not only his personal views and research but also discuss concepts and research points that are recent.

Great tour with Matilda - We met Matilda as arranged and there were only 4 of us on the tour, which was great. Matilda was a font of knowledge and made the tour really interesting. Overall the tour was fascinating, everything I wanted and more than I had expected.

London Natural History Museum Semi-Private Tour - Highly Recommend - Our family of four (including kids ages 10 and 5) thoroughly enjoyed our guided tour of The London Natural History Museum with Ivo. He is very personable, a wealth of knowledge, and very engaging with the kids. He kept the kids (and adults) interested for the full 2.5 hours. The museum is extensive and would have been a bit overwhelming to navigate without a guide (and I don’t think our kids would have been as engaged). Highly recommend.

Semi private tour of the Natural History Museum, London. As it happened, we were he only 3 which was great! - Ivo is extremely knowledgeable and made the tour very interesting and fun for eight year old Johnny who he had a lovely rapport with. My daughter and I also learned a lot and enjoyed the tour immensely. The tour provided us with an overview of the various areas visited.

A bit expensive, but worth it - Matilda was a very nice guide. She was very knowledgeable & clearly passionate about science & history. The tour is a bit expensive, but you are in a small group & the guide will tell you interesting things which are not always written. You can also ask them questions, which can be very informative, especially for children.
