Tour of the British Museum in London
Tour Overview
Knowing the History of Humanity since its origins millions of years ago is possible without leaving London. With our British Museum Tour you can discover, with the help of an official guide and expert in the field, the main pieces of the most important cultures that have populated our planet.
We will begin our visit outside, at the entrance of the museum, where we will see its resemblance to some buildings of Classical Greece, and we will move to the Hall of Enlightenment, the oldest of the museum, which houses a collection of more than 60,000 books of King George III.
We will move on to immerse ourselves in the culture of Ancient Egypt, where we will learn all the details of Egyptian funerary rites and our journey into the past will continue to the Assyrian civilization.
The Greeks have been another of the cultures that have left a great historical legacy. Continuing our visit, we will find an important part of the structure of the Parthenon of Athens.
We will end our visit discovering several pieces of the Aztecs after having met Hoa Hakananai'a, a moai of Easter Island of more than two meters high.

Customer Reviews
They tell us to use an app on WhatsApp. When the guide arrives, she tells us that the app doesn't work, which turned out to be true. They should have devices that work on their own.
This tour did not include entry to the museum, and it was not made clear in any comms. I emailed and called with no response still 24 hours later. Was excited to see this museum! The museum staff mentioned they’ve had many people with this issue as well and feel awful they’re out £24. I’ve used free tour in other cities and it’s been great, but won’t be in the future from this experience.
The guide showed up late and ran off half an hour earlier than what the tour was scheduled for. The guide was very sweet and knowledgable but his English was unfortunately not above a B2 level. It was sometimes difficult to understand his pronunciation.
I would have liked the tour to be a little longer because of the large number of objects to be found there.
He explained everything phenomenal. He gave us a complete and very entertaining guide.
