One price for up to six. A completely private, guided highlights tour of one of the greatest museums in the world. I am an friendly, insured, licensed, Blue Badge Guide with a degree in Classical History. I cut away myths and explain a wide range of the most important objects in the collection. The Rosetta Stone, Egyptian Pharaohs, a scared metal cat. The Parthenon marbles, to a bust of Homer and spectacular, classical jewellery. Unusual roman glass, to Pompeii wall paintings. Early British gold and silver from a boat burial. I work with families, and their children are very welcome, as are groups, couples, individuals and students. We also enter very quickly as we will be to the front of the line.

5.00Anthony Matthews was perfect! My husband and I are traveling with our two boys, aged 11 and 14, and we all loved every second of the tour! The artifacts are, of course, breathtaking - but Mr. Matthews descriptions and asides and anecdotes made all the difference - we probably could have listened to him talk about Ancient Greece and Rome all day! Our next stop on the day was the Harry Potter studio tour at Warner Beothers, and when asked what his favorite part of the day was this morning my 14 year old said, without hesitation, “Obviously the British Museum - our tour guide was incredible!” :) Thank you, Anthony, for making yesterday so absolutely magical!
Worth every penny
