Highlights

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.
