5.00Had an amazing time on the Exclusive Guided Tour of the Natural History Museum in London with our guide, Becky. She was warm, knowledgeable, and made the museum’s stories come alive ,from the towering dinosaur skeletons to the glittering gemstones. Becky shared fascinating details you’d never get just walking around on your own, and her enthusiasm made the whole experience even more special. If you’re visiting, I highly recommend booking the guided tour and asking for Becky , it’s the best way to truly appreciate the museum’s treasures.
Great family activity!

5.00We had a fantastic tour at the National History Museum thanks to our amazing guide! He did an incredible job keeping our three-year-old engaged and excited the entire time—no small feat! He showed us all the best highlights of the museum and made sure the tour was tailored to what we were most interested in. It was informative, fun, and perfectly paced for our family. Highly recommend this experience, especially if you have young kids!
Great experience and perfect use of time

5.00Matilda was a spectacular guide! When I’m on vacation, I’m not wanting to spend a lot of wandering around in museums. Matilda was extremely knowledgeable and took us on a route I never would have been able to follow on my own. We hit all the highlights in the allotted time and managed to miss most of the crowds. We scheduled for a small group tour, but we were lucky enough for it to only be our group. 100% would recommend this tour, and I would encourage you to request Matilda for the tour.
Great tour - Thanks Becky!

5.00This was a great tour with Becky, and we found ourselves referencing what we learned from her throughout the rest of our trip in England. She was knowledgeable and took time for our questions. Thanks Becky!
A Very Worthwhile Tour

5.00We are so glad we booked a tour with Andi for the British history Museum. The museum is so large. It is impossible to see everything in one day. Andi took us on a tour of great things to see, and as well pointed out the unique architecture of several of the areas. It is an amazing space.!
