    Great tour that showed all the highlights of the British Museum. There’s so much to see and you can stay after the tour and explore more if you’d like. I had limited time so this was perfect to see all the top exhibits.

    I am very grateful that Ellie noticed 3 strangers that were looking for a different person. She was so obliging and contacted her supervisor and added us to her group. She is very knowledgeable not only about the facts but the current culture that affects the museum. I left the museum not only appreciating the artifacts but the time and world where they came from.
