My wife and I travel fairly frequently with our 3 kids who are now 16, 13, & 8. Any parent knows that traveling with kids of different ages requires balancing their varying interests and different attention spans. Problem solved with having Larry as your private guide at British Museum. In a place that has a massive amount of exhibits and artifacts, that would have lost our 8 year old daughter in about 10 minutes, she was fully engaged and entertained (along with the older kids) for 3 hours and could have gone longer. Larry is an exceptional guide—knowledgeable, great way of engaging kids and adults, and a fun person. We rarely write reviews but our experience with Larry on this tour was exceptional.

Very knowledgeable guide. The museum is too big to navigate and see the most important artifacts. Having a guide is a museum game changer.

We had a fantastic time with Roberta. My 10 year old (who absolutely hates museums and was not interested in this tour) LOVED it!!!!! We have been to many countries and many museums and this was the first one that was a hit all because of Roberta. She made it so much fun for him but also made it enjoyable for me, my husband, and my 15 year old. I highly recommend this tour. Take it with Roberta if you can!

Roberta did a great job showing the treasures of the British Museum and keeping kids and adults engaged throughout the tour. My son learned a lot and I don't think we would have had a similar experience just on our own.

Our guide, Kathy, was incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and focused on showing us the highlights of the museum that the kids were most interested in. Often, I spend too much time on the little things in a museum or get overwhelmed and run out of steam before I see the big things. This tour kept us from doing that, as Kathy made sure we saw the best in the time we had.
