A Great Tour - Ivo R gave us a fascinating tour. He clearly loves his subject and communicated very effectively and engagingly. My wife and I loved it, and we would not have gotten nearly as much on our own. Bravo, Ivo.

British Museum Comes to Life - Laurence was not only knowledgeable about the museum he was entertaining. We had a limited time to see the museum and he highlighted some of the most interesting artifacts and provided stories about these pieces that you would not get anywhere else. Highly recommend this tour. Five star all the way

Worth the extra cost - Well paced tour. Our guide Jamie was very knowledgeable. Did a good job of keeping the group of 8 together. Only saw a small section of the museum simply because it’s enormous. Jamie’s comments were enlightening and provided great context for the exhibits.

Had an amazing time on... - Had an amazing time on the Exclusive Guided Tour of the Natural History Museum in London with our guide, Becky. She was warm, knowledgeable, and made the museum’s stories come alive ,from the towering dinosaur skeletons to the glittering gemstones. Becky shared fascinating details you’d never get just walking around on your own, and her enthusiasm made the whole experience even more special. If you’re visiting, I highly recommend booking the guided tour and asking for Becky , it’s the best way to truly appreciate the museum’s treasures.

Not to be missed tour of National Gallery - Jaime was a fabulous guide. He took us through 700 years of paintings, choosing the perfect paintings to highlight. He used history and the artists’ personal lives to make the paintings even more intriguing. We left with a breadth of knowledge that we truly appreciate. This wasn’t a rushed tour but rather in-depth dive. A++!

Great family activity! - We had a fantastic tour at the National History Museum thanks to our amazing guide! He did an incredible job keeping our three-year-old engaged and excited the entire time—no small feat! He showed us all the best highlights of the museum and made sure the tour was tailored to what we were most interested in. It was informative, fun, and perfectly paced for our family. Highly recommend this experience, especially if you have young kids!
