Wow. I did not expect such a dynamic, stress free experience. From the very first contact our guide was intelligent, timely, and listened to our interests. He was engaging, smart, and sure knew his way around. What a great day at the British Museum.

Robert was fantastic! He provided such amazing insights into some of the artifacts at the museum. We learned more with him in 3 hours than we could have learned in a year exploring on our own!
