Guide is a must! - I can’t imagine going to the British Museum without a guide! Matilda was a fantastic guide for our group of 7. She’s extremely knowledgable and steered us to the highlights of the collection. We’ve taken a lot of museum tours and Matilda is one of the best guides we’ve encountered. And the museum Is amazing!

Make a day of it! Tour then explore. - Such a wonderful tour. Our guide had great energy! I loved how much he was able to teach me and my group and it got me into the museum way earlier than if I had tried to go on my own. Such a great experience!
