- The British Museum - Trade in paintings for mummies and historical artifacts on a tour of the British Museum. The enormous collection spans 6000 years of human history, featuring items from all over the world including Samurai armor and rare Assyrian lion hunt reliefs. Our guides will take a serious but enjoyable approach towards the museum’s galleries, discussing primitive tribes and fallen empires through a carefully chosen selection of items. You’ll learn about the Mummy of Katebet, the Lewis Chessmen, and the Rosetta Stone
- the actual rock, not the language learning program. Walk away with an understanding of what we humans have achieved during our short history and hopefully you’ll be proud to call yourself a part of this incredible species.

Stef is a fantastic tour guide - We had a wonderful tour guide. Stef was very knowledgeable and added a bit of entertainment too while telling us interesting stories you won’t find in most books about the museum. I would highly recommend her as a tour guide.

Outstanding experience - We went on the tour of the British Museum with Andy, and it was an amazing experience! He got in touch with us the day before the tour, as well as the day off, confirming the meeting place and time. He was so knowledgeable and shared both the history of the museum, as well as how the various exhibits were acquired by England, and other fascinating information. Our group ranging in ages from 9 to 40-something really enjoyed the tour. Thank you Babylon tours!

Great guided tour that took us to the most important things to see in the time we had to spend. - We took a guided tour and would highly recommend doing so. Had we not had Ivo’s guidance during the tour, we would have only gotten fraction of the exposure and benefit from the time spent at the British Museum.

Fantastic museum tour!!!!! - What made this tour was our guide Becky. Her knowledge, friendly disposition and speaking voice was superior. Becky insured that we viewed all of the top attractions at the museum. The 2 1/2 hours spent with her was fantastic. We would most definitely go to the museum again…..and with Becky.

Ivo at British Museum OUTSTANDING - The British Museum is an outstanding site to visit. But with Ivo and Babylon, the British Museum becomes mesmerizing and memorable. Ivo is amazing. Ivo started by asking our group what we wanted to see. When one of us responded with a picture, Ivo apologized because that section was closed. Ivo knew the Museum. Then, based on our request, Ivo took us on a trip through time with excellent explanations and timely questions to us and answering our questions. Ivo has extensive knowledge
-of humanity and
-history and
-artifacts and
-the site.
Ivo gives his lecture and tour with attention to detail, Ivo has excellent diction. We were extremely lucky to get Ivo.
