5.00Our guide, Jack, was one of the best we have ever had. His enthusiasm was infectious. We could see and hear his love for not only The British Museum but for history. It was really a pleasure to tour the museum with him. He asked if we wanted to see anything in particular, we did, and he made sure that we saw all of them plus things we didn’t even know we would love.
A wonderful guided tour thanks to a great guide

5.00Betsy, my guide was great. I had been to the museum a decade ago without a guide, poked around and read a bunch of the plaques. But Betsy guided me through the exhibits giving historical perspectives, sequencing the events depicted in the exhibits, adding history of the collection of the artifacts as well. She really enhanced the experience. We had a coffee/tea together at the end and she offered information and tips for travel and destinations in London in general. Excellent experience.
