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.

I took a tour on the 26th at the British Museum and convent garden with Maurizio. He is a delightful person, as well as knowledgeable, we had a great time, the girls actively participated in the tour with him. 5 star congratulations to Maurizio and you. Great professionalism. If you are Italian and want to take a tour with viator with children, ask for Maurizio because he is special!!!

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

We had a great experience on our tour, this is a MUST DO in London, specially with Roberta, our guide, she know so much about all the museum and made the kid enjoy the time at the museum. She played a game with the kids to make it even more fun. Thanks Roberta for the time and the Tour!!!

We booked the tour well in advance, visiting London with our children (12 and 11 years old). The children enjoyed it very much. The guide Roberta found the right way to communicate and challenge the kids to spot interesting things at the exhibition. Excellent 2,5 hours - thank you.
Roberta was awesome!!!

The visit takes 2,5 hours, the group was small (six people) and the guide was great. It was not just a simple walk through the museum, Roberta made everything more palatable for the children and teenagers.
Excellent Tour!

Roberta did an amazing job! Kids (6/9/12 yo) loved her and it was great information for the adults as well. She arranged a game which really kept the kids interested. Roberta was an excellent guide for our family. We will use Roberta and her company on our next visit.
Great time

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!
