Discover some of the highlights of the British Museum with a guide and get a flavor of one of the world’s oldest and finest museums. Because there is so much to see, you could spend a week at the British Museum and still not discover it all. Experience the best of the British Museum’s collections, starting with a view of the breathtaking ceiling. Admire the spectacular glass roof of the Great Court, a work of art. Then, see the world-famous “Rosetta Stone,” the key to deciphering Egyptian hieroglyphics. Admire the controversial Parthenon Sculptures, taken from the Parthenon in Athens by Lord Elgin, the former British ambassador to the Ottoman Empire. Go to the Ancient Egypt galleries to see the large collection of Egyptian mummies, and discover the Anglo-Saxon “Sutton Hoo” burial relics, as well as the “Winged Bulls” from Khorsabad.

    Our guide was a little hard to hear, with all the background noise of others and other competing tour guides. We had taken other Viator tours in Amsterdam where we had individual hearing receivers.

  • Scammers to the max- rip off totally

    After I confirmed and paid for my British Museum tour I started getting flooded flooded with emails from WhatsApp and on the day of the tour I receive no text or email or WhatsApp and five minutes before the tour started all of a sudden I get flooded with text from WhatsApp and there was no one to meet us at the British Museum. There was no tour guide. There was no flag stating that this was VA tour tour guide. This is a total sham do not buy anything from this website. They are scammers to the max. These people are a bunch of thieves. I will never use this website for a guided tour again.

    very poor instructions on how to meet up with the tour guide. A very poor description of the tour. Minimal value for the money.

    We arrived about 9.30 am waited for about 15-20 minutes in Great Russell Street where tickets stated would be met by our guide, no one turned up and after asking security at the British Museum we were redirected to the back of the Museum - Montague Street, where we waited for another 1/2 hour, asking around and tried several times to ring mobile number listed, but disconnected and by this time 10.30 am, where we just went into the Museum on our own to look around for a couple of hours.

    Guide did not show at the museum for the tour. When I joined the guide she said she was not scheduled for a tour until the afternoon. I did not get a response back from Viator.
