The British Museum is so large it can be overwhelming but, by focussing on women, this tour was a two hour fact-packed, informative, entertaining and enlightening experience where artefacts in different display cabinets were seamlessly linked in a way a casual visitor could never discover. We began in Mesopotamia, and moved through Egypt, Mexico, India, Greece, Italy and England. Each highlight was delivered with a passion for the subject and grounded in hours of research. This is the second tour/talk I have experienced with this company and each time I have come away bubbling with the infectious enthusiasm of our guide.
Spectacular Tours! MUST do while in London!

Becky was an absolutely phenomenal tour guide, and our group loved her. She’s very knowledgeable about all forms of history, and was open to answering any questions that we had. She made our group feel comfortable and safe to be able to learn more about the culture and history, but also made sure to make it enjoyable for all members. Becky kept all of us actively engaged, and her passion shined brightly throughout the tour. I highly recommend booking any of the tours with this group, as it’s clear they have a strong mission and goal to achieve with their work. This is a must do for anyone interested in learning more about the world they live in!
Fascinating guided walk

We are a group of old friends who like to meet up and spend time doing something together. We have now done 3 of Becky’s walks and have enjoyed them all. We chose this one as it sounded interesting and it was fascinating. We walked through the Museum and heard about exhibits that ordinarily we would have probably just glanced at. Becky is so knowledgeable and her dynamic story telling approach is totally absorbing! Thought provoking perspectives on women and stories that should be known more widely. Highly recommend these walks. Thanks Becky.
