Do not miss this guided tour! - Robert was an excellent guide, who impressed us with his knowledge and familiarity with the wonders of the British Museum! He bought the objects to life giving us a perspective which we would not have had otherwise. I cannot recommend Robert more highly! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Outstanding experience - Outstanding experience despite the heat and huge crowds. Robert is very knowledgeable and clearly knows his way around the museum. He kept us (family of 5, 3 teenagers) engaged for 3 hours and we learned so much. I can’t imagine visiting the British museum again and not doing a guided tour.

British Museum - Experience was great and the museum being so big, the guide was able to avoid most of the crowds and show us the major items on display and what we were interested in especially the things my grandson wanted to see. Richard did a great job of directing us through the museum and providing excellent information on what we saw. Without him and just a map we would never been able to cover so much in 3 hours. Would highly recommend this tour for a first and maybe only visit to the museum. Through his knowledge we got into the museum very quickly and avoided the long lines.

Great overview! - Robert was extremely knowledgeable and guided us through the museum quickly but used every minute to share exciting details about pieces we would have otherwise overlooked. Would highly recommend this tour for a family. My children (13, 11, & 9) really enjoyed it.

One of the highlights of our trip to London - I wouldn't hesitate to book this tour of the British Museum with Robert. It was one of the highlights of our stay in London. He is enthusiastic and knowledgeable. We learned so much more than if we had just toured the museum ourselves.

We would not have known a lot of the history if he had not explained it to us. You could tell he was enthusiastic about history. The museum is so large that we would have walked around aimlessly if we had not had him as our guide. I would definitely recommend Robert for a tour of the British Museum.

British Museum with Kids - Wow. I did not expect such a dynamic, stress free experience. From the very first contact our guide was intelligent, timely, and listened to our interests. He was engaging, smart, and sure knew his way around. What a great day at the British Museum.

Fantastic guide! - Robert was fantastic! He provided such amazing insights into some of the artifacts at the museum. We learned more with him in 3 hours than we could have learned in a year exploring on our own!
