Why choose this London tour ?
There is nothing quite like spending an afternoon at the “World’s Museum” – the legendary British Museum. No trip to London is complete without it.
On this 3-hour tour, you’ll explore thousands of years of human history, archaeology, and world culture – all without shying away from controversial topics.
You’ll see all of the highlights of the British Museum without ever feeling rushed. Together, we’ll examine Egyptian mummies, decipher the Rosetta Stone, gaze up at an Easter Island moai, debate the Parthenon Sculptures, and so much more.
Each tour is far from a ‘cookie-cutter’ experience where the guide follows a rigid script. Instead, I listen to your preferences and interests and craft an experience that speaks to you on a deeper level.
You’ll leave with a whole new understanding of the complexities of heritage, history, and museums in general.
The British Museum is a special and complicated place. Let’s explore it together.
