British National Museum - It was amazing! Wonderful museum was paired with well educated, fun and experienced guide. Our tour was fantastic and all due to our fantastic guide Alex. He knew every interesanting story there was. I can’t imagine what I would missed out on if I went on tour alone… Guide was well educated, showed up even earlier to que up for us. All in all a fantastic visit to the one of the best museum in the world

Hit of natural history we thoroughly enjoyed. - Matilda was informative and paced the tour well. We learnt things we didn’t know and enjoyed hearing in depth about things we had some knowledge of. We covered most of the permanent exhibitions, spending more time in the rocks display as this was a particular wish of ours. The two and a half hours went quickly and we would happily have done another two hours!

Great tour by Ivo - We had an excellent experience visiting the Natural History Museum in London with Ivo as our guide. Ivo was incredibly knowledgeable and made the exhibits come to life with his engaging storytelling and deep understanding of the museum's vast collection. His passion for natural history was contagious, and he tailored the tour to our interests, ensuring we didn't miss any of the highlights. Whether you're a first-time visitor or a returning guest, Ivo's guidance enhances the experience tremendously. Highly recommended!

Great tour - Excellent tour. Sasha was very knowledgeable and taught us many aspects of the museum that we would have missed had we visited the museum without a guide. We enjoyed his tour and would do it again.
