This guided tour by Vincent was amazing! He personalized the tour to our speed and made sure we saw all of the most important artifacts. Since there are countless exhibits that could take many days to see it was important to see highlights. Vincent has extensive knowledge and a very engaging storytelling approach to bring more light to the subjects. This tour was a valued part of our stay in London and Vincent made it an incredible memory for us!

Vincent was extremely knowledgeable and knew his way around the museum. We had a limited time to explore as the museums was closing in 2 hours. He pointed us to the most exciting and unusual exhibits pointing out many interesting and behind the scenes style facts that we certainly would not have know about otherwise. We realize that it is an extra financial investment to do a skip the line tour with a guide. However, every time we have we've gotten so much more out of our visit than by finding our own way around, fighting crowds and reading plaques. Vincent was a real treat to spend time with and he definitely knows the British Museum and waht makes it most interesting. Thank you!
