5.00She has tried a lot to make us understand her, since she did not speak Spanish and we did not speak English and yet we have understood the tour. We would repeat
An Absolutely Unforgettable Experience

5.00Words truly cannot capture how absolutely incredible my experience with the VoxCity tour was. This wasn't just a museum visit; it was an enriching, unforgettable journey, and it was all because of my spectacular guide, Janet. I was unbelievably lucky to have her leading the way. Janet is more than just friendly; she is an absolute delight—warm, engaging, and genuinely passionate about the subject matter. Her depth of knowledge about the Natural History Museum is astounding; she didn't just recite facts, she brought the history and the science to vivid life. Exploring the iconic main hall and wandering through the surprising beauty of the garden area with her was a real treat, full of fascinating details and unique insights we never would have discovered on our own. I cannot recommend this tour, and specifically Janet, highly enough. If you are looking for the absolute best, most memorable, and enriching way to experience your visit to the museum, book this tour without hesitation. It will be the highlight of your day! Jorge
amazing place for kids and adults

5.00We were delighted with the exhibition! We'd like to give a special thanks to our guide, Janet from VoxCity, for the introductory tour of the garden and the introduction to the museum building itself.
Overpriced but interesting!

3.00Janet who took the tour was excellent. She was both informative and engaging. Sadly however the tour only lasted less than 45 minutes rather than the expected hour, and because it was at 11 a.m. on a Sunday the place was extremely busy which made it a lot less enjoyable. Janet even had trouble just getting us through the gate into the main building which really shouldn't have happened, but obviously not her fault! £20 for this tour is extremely overpriced and definitely not value for money. They should reduce the price and maybe do the tour before the place opens or after it shuts!! It's a shame because it's an amazing building and the work done outside is fantastic!
The unbeatable guide, we would repeat
