5.00I cannot rate this tour and its guide, Kathy, high enough. 10 out of 10!!! Book this tour because it is a fully private tour with just you and Kathy. We were able to move quickly through the crowds & get to such wonderful pieces. Kathy’s passion & knowledge was in every step we took. Thank you Kathy for a wonderful experience! This Texan will be back & I will have you as my guide!

5.00I had an amazing tour with Kathy at British Museum! Her deep knowledge and passion for history truly brought the exhibits to life. In the Assyrian section her information given added so much context to what we were seeing. When we moved on to the Greek history section, Kathy explained stories behind iconic sculptures and artifacts with such enthusiasm that I felt like I was traveling back in time. She really made the tour unforgettable with her amazing facts and engaging storytelling. Highly recommended!

5.00We took a tour at the British Museum, and I must say, it exceeded all my expectations! The highlight was undoubtedly our tour guide, whose depth of knowledge was truly impressive. From the moment the tour began, it was clear we were in expert hands. Our guide not only explained the historical significance of each artifact with precision but also delved into fascinating anecdotes and lesser-known facts that brought the exhibits to life. The information shared went far beyond the basic descriptions you find on the plaques; it was like having a walking encyclopedia with us!
