Forget about big groups of strangers or running after a guide with a tight schedule leading a big group. Treat your family, your friends, your partner or just yourself with this PRIVATE tour. No strangers will be part of the group, only you and whoever is travelling with you. In two hours you will visit the most important artifacts and lesser know objects. In this private tour you will be able to learn about many different civilizations in the humanity's history at your own pace, without having to follow a large group. The guide will be friendly, professional and will customize the tour according to the group needs, for example in case of couples or families with kids adapting the approach. The British Museum is huge but in 2 hours you will have an overview of the most significant objects like, but not limited to, the Rosetta Stone, Ramses II, Double headed serpent, Parthenon Marbles, the Moai from Easter Island, Lewis Chessmen, the Waddesdon Bequest and the Assyrian Lamassu.

The tour experience was excellent. Our tour guide, Stefania, was perfect to show us the main wings and floors of the museum with dedicated stops to some iconic pieces where she spent some time to very interesting descriptions. This tour triggered our curiosity to get deeper into some areas, so we continued the visit, knowing exactly where we had to go. Thank you!

The museum is a bi, big, big place, Having a tour guide makes a lot of difference in trying to sort out what to see. We’ve actually used a guide twice at this museum to really focus on what is important

Damiano was an excellent tour guide for the British Museum. He was knowledgeable, engaging, and great with my jet lagged kids. We learned so much in a short period of time and got to see some of the highlighted exhibits at the museum. Would highly recommend this tour with Damiano!

Joseph prompt in meeting us and did a great job with 2 older teen boys. Very engaging and lots of knowledge. They had lots of questions and he had the answers. The museum was packed but he made it seem effortless.

The British Museum can be overwhelming due to its scale and scope. It was very helpful to have a guide point out and share information on items we likely would not have noticed. Joe was easy to connect with prior to and at the museum. I really appreciated all the pre visit communication!
