“Our private tour of the British Museum and National Gallery was a top-notch experience. There is a lot of ground to cover at both of these locations and our guide Jake made it manageable and enjoyable. His extensive knowledge of art and world history was fascinating and truly invaluable and was shared in an engaging manner. We were a group of five adults between mid-thirties and 70 and we all came away commenting it was like a personal Masters Class. Though I’m sure we would have enjoyed these museums on our own or with a larger group tour, there is no comparison to a private/personal tour guide and highly recommend…”
