Why choose this London tour ?
I’m a TV historian who has appeared on BBC and Sky History shows and hold a masters degree from Cambridge University.
I used to be staff at this museum (I even supervised sleepovers with the mummies!) And have guided thousands of happy customers. I’ll tell you so many behind-the-scenes stories, object based story telling that makes the highlights come alive.
This 3 hour tour is educational, enthusiastic and entertaining, assumes no prior knowledge, and also covers a major theme: how did the objects get here.
Make the most of your London adventure
What makes The British Museum: a highlights tour with a TV historian a unique experience ?
See its must-see highlights and hear the rarely told stories behind them from a former British Museum staff tour guide who knows the museum so well he’s even supervised sleepovers with the mummies!
Have kids who aren’t that in to history? No problems, I can make it come alive, fun and relevant for them with Harry Potter references, Hollywood and contemporary life.
