We had an excellent experience on our British Museum tour with Pepe (aka PepeLondon) from Liv Tours. Pepe was incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, and passionate about history. The British Museum can feel overwhelming because of its size and vast collection, but Pepe did a fantastic job bringing the exhibits to life and explaining the stories behind some of the museum’s most important treasures. His explanations were clear, interesting, and easy to follow, making the experience enjoyable. The tour was well-paced, informative, and enjoyable from start to finish. We left with a much deeper appreciation of the British Museum and its incredible collection. If you’re visiting London and want to get the most out of your British Museum experience, we highly recommend booking a tour with Pepe and Liv Tours. Thank you!
