5.00A nonstop and thoroughly interesting tour of the British Museum. Robert is confident, knowledgeable and genuine lover of the history of artifacts. You can make it even better if you can state some interests to Robert and further explore them. People would eavesdrop because of his imaginative commentary. Enjoy.
Robert Miller is the best guide in London

5.00The British museum is one of the best in the world but navigating it is an unbelievable challenge due to its vastness. My wife and I did not want to waste a lot of time figuring out where to go or what to see. After reading the reviews here about this tour and its guide Robert Miller, I knew he was the guide for us. And that’s an understatement. Robert is extremely knowledgeable with an encyclopedic memory, charming, and caring. In my 70 years, he is the best guide we have ever hired. If I ever return to London, I will figure out which tour he is leading and book it (well in advance!).
Great tour guide

5.00If you are going to the British Museum especially with children it is money well spent to hire a guide. Robert secured our place in line so we were among the first to enter. He knew all the best spot to observe certain exhibits and was full of knowledge and stories. I would definitely employ his services for a different museum next time I visit London

5.00We had a wonderful experience with our guide Robert! He was knowledgeable, engaging and understanding when we were running late to meet him. He is also a guide for other museums so the tour was so insightful and full of historical tidbits you wouldn't otherwise have learned (great at answering follow-up questions). Would absolutely recommend this tour!
Wonderful insights!
