Overview

One price for up to six. A completely private, guided highlights tour of one of the greatest museums in the world. I am an friendly, insured, licensed, Blue Badge Guide with a degree in Classical History. I cut away myths and explain a wide range of the most important objects in the collection. The Rosetta Stone, Egyptian Pharaohs, a scared metal cat. The Parthenon marbles, to a bust of Homer and spectacular, classical jewellery. Unusual roman glass, to Pompeii wall paintings. Early British gold and silver from a boat burial. I work with families, and their children are very welcome, as are groups, couples, individuals and students. We also enter very quickly as we will be to the front of the line.
