What to expect
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: The British Museum, Great Russell Street, London WC1B 3DG England
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.
Duration: 2 hours 30 minutes

I was very hesitant about booking the British Museum — I’m not one for art. Things all changed when I met our guide, Anthony. He was so fabulous. We learned so much with him. Definitely one of the best tours we did in London hands down! Simply perfect and I’m a very tough critic!

First, ourguide was easy to find; it seemed to be a preferred meeting point for tour guides; there were at least 4 at the same spot. Our tour guide, Andy, was very knowledgeable and he put many of he items we saw into interesting historical context. The tour was well planned, and the two highlights were the Rosetta Stone and the Elgin Marbles. The actual Rosetta stone is always surrounded by a crowd, but there is also a replica of the stone which is (a) not crowded; (b) not behind plexiglass; and (c) not surrounded by dozens of people. Andy showed us this first and he was able to explain many things about the stone and its importance that one could never do at the actual stoneBecky was an outstanding guide. She was very knowledgeable and told us so many things about each place we visited in the museum. She has an excellent personality for this.
