Additional Information
Have you ever wandered through a huge museum wondering what you should be seeing, or perhaps feeling like you’re missing out on something? Do you want to make the Bible come alive in a life-changing way?
In this semi-private guided tour, you’ll stand in front of ancient artifacts while discussing the Bible.
You will get to connect Bible passages to the artifacts, then place it in a timeline so that you will understand the Bible like never before. Verses will no longer just be words on the page when you see an artifact from that same time period bring the passage to life. As you place each event on the timeline, you will understand how they relate to each other in history.
Encounter 40-ton Assyrian statues, Egyptian pharaohs, Roman emperors and more. The artifacts range in age from 2000 - 3500 years old.
The tour covers Mesopotamia, Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Persia, Greece and Rome.

Deep dive into biblical archaeology - The best way to see the British Museum is with David as your guide! His breadth of knowledge is impressive. He gave us the historical context and biblical significance of countless artifacts spanning from the Assyrian empire to the Romans. I could not believe how quickly the time flew by! We were fascinated by his teachings and learned so much. If you have the time, book David's tour. You won't be disappointed.

Fantastic tour! - I was hesitant to pay $$$ for this tour, expecially for one of my kids. However, after reading reviews, I took the plunge and was so glad I did. The 4 hours flew by and we were kept enthralled. My older teenager loved it as much as I did. My younger teen had some issues, but because certain parts of the museum were uncomfortably warm. We agreed that David's enthusiasm and excitement were contagious! We loved this tour!

The best bible tour in europe - Our tour guide was David. He was the best guide I ever had, he was extremely passionate and dedicated about his tour through the British museum and he picked the best art pieces connected to the Bible. He was very kind, he even made told us some good places to eat after the tour. In the whole process of the tour I felt astonished by the Biblical connections to the art pieces around the museum. My favorite art piece was the statues of the Roman emperors and governors because he really took some time to explain what big role the Roman Empire plays in the Bible and our current civilization for example in the Bible Pontius Pilate commands Jesus to death and in the modern world we still use for example the road, the newspaper, concrete, surgery, underfloor heating, sanitary, Roman numerals and even more.

Enlightening and Inspiring - David was a terrific guide. This tour was the highlight of our entire trip to London! He is very knowledgeable and his enthusiasm is inspiring. His study and dedication are evident and he makes connections for you that deepen your faith in the Bible being the true and accurate. We learned so many new connections to history, I wish I had a recording because I can't remember it all! Highly recommend this tour for anyone studying the Bible.

Bible comes to life in archeology at the British Museum - So often we walk through a museum and learn about different cultures in history without context. But this was like walking through cultures during bible times. David gave bible stories life and perspective by viewing Assyrian, Babylonian, Greek, and Egyptian artifacts and sharing the history behind them from a biblical perspective. What an amazing afternoon!

Putting the pieces together - David was very thorough and descriptive in his explanations of the physical artifacts and how they coordinated with the written scriptural accounts. Our group was thrilled to learn and digest so many connections we did not realize. David, thank you for your dedication, your research, and your delivery. I would recommend David’s tour to everyone.
