See human history and culture brought to life on a 2.5-hour tour of the British Museum in London! With millions of artifacts spread over 70 galleries, the enthralling museum is vast and a visit to it without a guide can be overwhelming. So, follow a knowledgeable local guide around the exhibitions to discover its highlights while hearing historical facts and anecdotes. See mummies from Ancient Egypt, Anglo-Saxon treasures from England and the impressive Parthenon Frieze from the Acropolis of Athens, alongside other captivating relics.

Our guide, Rob, was early waiting for us at the location that was also clearly indicated on the instructions. He's extremely knowledgeable about the Musuem and it's displays. He gave us briefing of items that are significant and 'must see' at the museum with just the right amount of info. Very, very helpful and very friendly. Definitely highly recommend. Even though the entrance is free, this tour is the most efficient way of going through the best part of the Museum if you only have 1/2 day or 1 day to spare.

Guide showed up right on time at Russell Square. Walked too far for older people. Spent twenty minutes outside. Once inside the museum moved around to maybe 10 of the biggest attractions inside. Place is huge so I understand that, just would’ve liked it to be more inside the museum and from top to bottom… we had no idea why or what we actually saw.

The tour was wonderful!!! Our guide [Mr. Rob Smith] was exceptional!!!! He was very knowledgeable on history of the museum, the collective pieces, and the architecture new and old. He was professional, patient, and human. I would highly recommend anyone reading this review to ask for him specifically. Great tour!!!!

On the positive side, it was nice to skip the line and our guide was able to navigate us to the top highlights of the museum. However, we struggled to find our guide. There was no sign, as indicated in the instructions, and we had to call the tour company to locate her. I never leave negative reviews, but our guide smelled overpoweringly of stale cigarettes and was a bit difficult to understand. Most of the time we felt like she was just reading off the display cards, and even offered incorrect information a couple of times (that we know of). She also used a flashlight in an exhibit where the light was intentionally low to preserve the artifacts, even after being told by a security guard to stop. Our ability to see clearly definitely isn’t worth the degradation of some of the worlds most precious antiquities. Eek!

It was fantabulous indeed. More than our expectations. We loved British Museum. the museum exceeded our expectations in terms of hugeness, variety of archives displayed and in toto it was one of the finest experience so far as visiting a museum is concerned. Overwhelmed!!

This is a very large museum with many floors and different periods of time. Very good, interesting and wonderful items.

We were in London for a limited time and realized that there was too much to see at the British Museum for an afternoon. We were so happy that we booked this tour with Viator because it concentrated on some of the top exhibits at the Museum. Our guid, Norma, was outstanding. She was enthusiastic and really "knew her stuff"! After our tour we were able to go back to areas of interest. This tour really cuts through the clutter of 'so much to see in a limited time". We definitely would recommend it to our friends.

This guided tour this is a good way to hit the major attractions at the museum like the Rosetta Stone several Egyptian exhibits. The tour guide was very knowledgeable although towards the end of the tour, she seemed a bit rushed. Overall though it was a good experience.

We missed the start of the tour because we did not pay careful attention to the instructions and waited outside the museum. But happily we found the guide in the museum and he accommodated our needs. It is great to hear some of the stories associated with the exhibits which are so impressive.

Having a guide makes makes it feasible for a tourist to see the important items in a museum as large as this one. This is a quick tour of a museum that could occupy you for days, weeks, or months. We were glad we were with an expert.
