National Gallery and British Museum - We got a terrific tour of the National Gallery and the British Museum with Alex. He did an amazing job helping us understand the highlights of these huge collections — really made it all digestible for us and our 9 year old. Excellent context and some really interesting stories and viewpoints — we learned a lot and had a great time.

2 museums in a day. - Becky was awesome! I would highly recommend her guiding services, if you are able to request. The semi-private group was great and it was just the right amount of folks for a great experience.

Wonderful experience at the British Museum. - Becky was wonderful. She met us where we expected. She had tickets and line information down which made it easy to enter the museum. She was a historian who gave us the historical context and her current knowledge of the present situations with many of the artifacts in the museum, without adding a political spin to things. She made sure we got to the Rosetta Stone first for pictures before the crowd. Just a delight. I cannot recommend Becky highly enough, a lovely host for the UK in general let alone the museum.

Stef is a fabulous tour guide! - We really enjoyed our tour guide Stef. She was very knowledgeable and also added a touch of entertainment by telling stories that you wouldn’t find in most books about the museum. I would highly recommend her as a tour guide. She was fantastic.

Great - Our guide (Matilda) was terrific. She was knowledgeable and enthusiastic. She gave me a much better view and understanding of the collection as she focused on particular items and gave us the background. I got much more out of the visit going with her than I would have by going by myself.

London at its Best - Jamie was very knowledgeable, pleasant, and patient with all our different questions. He provided great insight into each picture regarding the time period and the painter. Our experience was well worth the cost of the tour. Sam Brilliant

The BEST overview of the British Museum - James was our guide when we visited the British Museum, and he was exceptional. He had a detailed answer for every question our varied group sent his way. He was engaging, humorous, and incredibly informed about the museum. I found myself wishing I'd brought my teenaged sons for the tour. One of the best tours I've ever taken. Hopefully the next time I visit London James is still doing tours.

Steph was an excellent guide! - Steph was an energetic and informative guide. Without her vast expertise both the Museum and the Gallery would have been overwhelming.
