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.

5.00Stefania is a highly knowledgeable and generous guide. We had to pause briefly for a break, so she kindly added that time onto the end of the tour, although she could’ve ended it at the designated time. Her background is in art history, so we highly recommend her, especially for tours of the British Museum or similar.
Interesting & informative! Would have not been able to navigate this huge museum without our guide! Pedro was so passionate it w

5.00Using a Viator tour guide to navigate and see the best of the best at the British Museum was priceless. Ely’s passion for history, delivery of stories, navigation of the museum and, love for being a guide is very obvious. We were lucky to have her lead our group in a tour today! I would definitely recommend the two hour tour of the British museum and request Ely if you want a memorable experience! Definitely worth the cost of the tour! The pre-trip communications of where to meet and what to expect was a pleasant surprise and made the entire event less stressful.
