Private British Museum Tour

Our private tour of the British Museum is designed to allow you to cut through the confusion and focus on some of the most breath-taking artefacts on display. Your guide will take you to the most important must-see items in the museum, spanning millennia and tens of thousands of miles. You will see some of the world’s most important archaeological discoveries from some of humanity’s most influential and lasting civilizations. The British Museum contains the history of the world without leaving 21st Century London.

Whether your interests lay in ancient Mesopotamia, the Pharaohs of Egypt or the arts of the Middle Ages we have you covered. With displays from every age and every corner of the world there is something here for everyone. This is the perfect tour for experts and newcomers alike, and as these tours are always for private groups, our knowledgeable guides will be happy to tailor the tour to suit you. Where else can a rainy day in London turn into a time traveling adventure from the deserts of Egypt to the jungles of Central America?

Not only will your guide show you truly breath-taking pieces, they will also regale you with some of the hair-raising stories of how it was all acquired. Tales of professional grave robbers, well-meaning archaeologists, lucky amateurs and the dark underbelly of empire will leave you shocked and entertained in equal measures.

Since you probably don’t have two or three days to spend inside the museum, it’s important to have an expert guide who can show you the best pieces, along with the history of what makes them so special. This private guided tour is the only way to have a clear path through one of the world’s greatest collections of art and artefacts. We can’t wait to show you the treasures that await within its walls!
