Excellent guide, tons of information - Tour focuses on highlights, but guide accommodates special requests if group is very small. We had only two people. Denise was great.

British Museum walking tour - Denise is great. This is the second time we have done this tour with her and she always provides excellent historical information. The British museum is so massive and this tour is a great primer to get acclimated to the museum to get your bearings and what areas you’d like to focus on.

Amazing experience with our guided tour - We are so pleased to have booked this private tour. Our guide, Paul, was charming, funny, engaging, and very knowledgeable. Not only did he take us to important pieces of the museum and explain the history and significance of them, he knew the layout of the museum as though it was his second home. He also tailored the information to the group ranging from teenagers to adults keeping everyone captivated. This is time and money well spent.

An exceptional visit! - The Denise guide was excellent. Very kind and polite, inquisitive, perfectly familiar with the whole story presented and did everything so that we could take the most advantage of the experience. I highly recommend visiting the history of the 4 corners of the world and this 5 star guide! An exceptional professional! The only reservation is that it is impossible to see everything in one day, so we will have to go back ;)

Too crowded - Highlights tour on Sunday at 2pm Too busy , too loud, too much shoving and pushing !!! Firstly need to say tour guide was very friendly, enthusiastic and interesting. So was not her fault . BUT -Numbers should be limited!!! Tours were overlapping and speaking louder than our tour guide and groups of 15 crowding round one thing is ridiculous . Also non paying people just attached themselves to our group making it even more difficult to see or hear. The tour covered 7-8 pieces in 90 mins but be prepared to stand around and move between floors. Felt v disappointed with the format of this tour and the overcrowding. Be prepared !!!
