The British Museum

Trade in paintings for mummies and historical artifacts on a tour of the British Museum. The enormous collection spans 6000 years of human history, featuring items from all over the world like Samurai armor and rare Assyrian lion hunt reliefs. Your guide will take a serious but enjoyable approach towards the museum’s galleries, discussing primitive tribes and fallen empires through a carefully chosen selection of items. You’ll learn about the Mummy of Katebet, the Lewis Chessmen, and the Rosetta Stone – the actual rock, not the language learning program. Walk away with an understanding of what we humans have achieved during our short history and hopefully you’ll be proud to call yourself a part of this incredible species.

    The museum is massive, so it’s always a challenge to get an overview on a tour. Jamie did a great job presenting the highlights and also putting many of the things we saw in a historical context. He was conversational, respectful of all questions and full of energy.

  • Well worth it! thanks Steph!

    Steph was absolutely amazing! We had such a great tour of the British museum with her. What could have easily been an overwhelming visit was instead a very thought provoking and enlightening experience. Steph did a great job of showing us key pieces in the collection and putting them into their historical and modern day contexts. We were so glad to have taken the tour and feel we walked away with a greater knowledge of history through the amazing objects at the museum.

  • Great tour
