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 Paul communicated clearly when and where to meet. It was so easy to get in. He was super knowledgeable and he led us around to see all the top artifacts in the museum before it got too crowded. He gave the perfect amount of context and background. This was the best way to see the museum and I have recommended it to family and friends.

    The tour guide never showed up! Arrived early at arranged meeting spot on the stairs and waited 45mins in the rain. Tour guide never showed up and didn't reply to messages/text.

    Poor communication. Meet time was at 10 am and doors open at 10. By the time we made it to the main entrance stairs took 15 min to get inside. With no tour guide to be found and no pick up from phone.

  • Knowledgeable and passionate guide but time management an issue

    The tour guide was very knowledgeable and very passionate about the subjects she was talking about. She also made sure that the tour group was at the front of the line to get into the museum when it opened. The only issue we had was that the tour scheduled for an hour and a half lasted more than two hours. At one point she told me that she needed 10 more minutes but it was at least 25 minutes to the end. This played havoc with our planning for the rest of the day.
