The British Museum

Trade in paintings for mummies and historical artifacts on a tour of the British Museum. The enormous collection spans 6000 years of human history, featuring items from all over the world including Samurai armor and rare Assyrian lion hunt reliefs. Our guides will take a serious but enjoyable approach towards the museum’s galleries, discussing primitive tribes and fallen empires through a carefully chosen selection of items. You’ll learn about the Mummy of Katebet, the Lewis Chessmen, and the Rosetta Stone – the actual rock, not the language learning program. Walk away with an understanding of what we humans have achieved during our short history and hopefully you’ll be proud to call yourself a part of this incredible species.

    I was recently part of a 2.5-hour tour led by Jake at the British Museum. He did a great job guiding us through various exhibits, adding so much interesting detail and info. The pace was perfect - I never felt rushed or overwhelmed (which I frequently do in big museums). Jake's knowledge and love of British history was apparent - I highly recommend!

    Such a wonderful tour. Our guide had great energy! I loved how much he was able to teach me and my group and it got me into the museum way earlier than if I had tried to go on my own. Such a great experience!
