We were welcomed by our guide Wesley, he was very well prepared, has a huge knowledge, we learned a lot of new things, we can say that it was a fantastic tour fir both National and British Museum. To be re-done!

Jake was a fantastic tour guide! Incredibly knowledgeable and readily able to answer any and all questions. We had actually been to the British Museum (solo) about six years ago and please know that a guided tour is the way to go! We saw and understood way more than before. The National Gallery part of the tour was superb as Jake had written his dissertation on Vasquez. Perfect experience!

Definitely highly recommended - it was the highlight of our stay in London. It is a very good high-lights tour for the British Museum and National Gallery. Granted, spending days at each place is not enough to see everything. However, we really got the famous pieces and important history at each of the places through the tour - it was magical. We had Eli as our tour guide. She was phenomenal! She knew so much about history and art that we would've never gotten otherwise. She pointed out all the important pieces and took us on a time-travel tour forward in time. I cannot imagine a better museum tour.

The guide's extended insightful stories about carefully chosen museum exhibits at the British Museum (e.g., Rosetta stone, Ramses II, African bronzes) and informal conversations about Cubism, Impressionism, etc at the National Gallery.

Fascinating guided tour of the British Museum and National Gallery of London For us we find the best way to see a museum is with a Guide. Jake was our knowledgeable guide! We were quite impressed with the art in these museums, but listening to Jake tell us the history behind some of the art was Priceless! Highly recommend this tour
