I know this museum so well I even supervised sleepovers with the mummies!
I'm an ex official staff member of the British Museum, and am a TV historian who has appeared on BBC and Sky History shows and I hold a masters degree from Cambridge University.
And have guided thousands of happy customers. I'll tell you so many behind-the-scenes stories, object based story telling that makes the highlights come alive.
This 3 hour tour is educational, enthusiastic and entertaining, assumes no prior knowledge and covers the major must-see objects.

5.00The tour guide was punctual. He was very informative and took us to the highlights, entertained all, and was great the enture tour. We learned loads, had time for breaks, and saw many wonderful things in the museum. It was the perfect time to go, with limited but some crowds, and we enjoyed our time with the tour.
Highly Recommended

5.00Loona did a great job of telling us the stories behind the exhibits. He was informative, funny, and candid about items in the museum and about political issues related to the items. We highly recommend him as your guide!

5.00Our guide - Loona, made the whole museum come to life. He had a deep personal knowledge, enthusiasm, and firsthand experience of the museum, having worked there for some years before taking on his current role as an expert tour guide. Loona told us the behind-the-scenes stories of the exhibits that made our visit so much more exciting and interesting than what it would have been had we just seen it by ourselves. We ventured through the history of civilisation during our 3 1/2-hour tour, and we were shown amazing artefacts that we could not possibly have seen or known about had Loona not been there to show us during the limited time that we had. One tip - book your ticket to the museum at least a few days in advance as they often get booked out. While the museum is free, the tickets are nevertheless limited. You also need to allow about 30 minutes to get into the museum - so don't arrive late! We give our experience - and Loona - 5 stars!!!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Fascinating, unique guided experience
