Our tour, with Shelton, at the National Gallery in London was truly exceptional (and we’ve been on many tours)! He provided historical context, information about the paintings, the artists, unique features, comparative analysis and so much more! He answered each and every one of my many questions and seemed to enjoy all of it! He also had a bright sense of humor - we appreciated his wit. Our morning with him was a memorable highlight. In the hierarchy of ratings you’ve provided for this review, I’ve selected the top rating, “very satisfactory” which totally understates our experience. Our tour guide was fabulous.

Jamie pointed things out to us that we probably would have overlooked. So grateful for his guidance and personal touch.

Our guide, Wesley, was fabulous! He was able to give us a great deal of insight into so many different civilisations and cultures. His knowledge is immense and definitely gave us a new found desire to learn more about history. So many wonderful pieces were explained to us in depth and in an easily understood manner. Free time at the end of the tour to explore at your own pace and interest. Highly recommend.

Great tour guided by Wesley. He was very knowledgeable about the artifacts in the museum and we had a well paced but inclusive tour. We were able to see a large portion of the museum within 2.5 hours and still did not feel rushed.

Steph was an amazing tour guide. She offered great insights and information about the exhibits. This was a great way to make the most of the British Museum. I highly recommend this tour.

Wesley was such an excellent guide for the museum-he patiently waited for us stuck in traffic. We got to see all the high lights of the museum in the 3 hour tour, with his witty commentary. Highly recommend!

Jamie was our guide and he was historian and he took us to a good selections of work and he was pretty nologable person to be as guide

History is always perspectival, and it should be. What would history with a view from nowhere even be? Sheldon embraced this, including in the tour some of the history that brought about him as well as the history of artifacts that resonated with him personally. For us, that was exactly what we were looking for: something that made this enormous and overwhelming collection manageable and personable. Like his description of the Rosetta Stone, it’s the contingencies of its history, not the item itself, that makes it a world treasure. Similarly, the British Museum and artifacts within are lovely, but stitching its story as it has been interwoven with culture, history, and ethics is what you cannot take pictures of nor really interact with on your own. That piece was provided by our guide. I should add that Sheldon was incredibly knowledgeable, kind, humorous, and a captivating speaker. His tour will stay with us for a long time—thank you!

Andy did a great job explaining the key points of interest throughout the museum. He was very friendly and knowledgeable!

This is the best way to get to see the highlights of the the vast British Museum - Matilda was an absolute pleasure and fountain of knowledge about all the areas of the Museum and guided us easily through to see the most beautiful and important pieces - thanks to Babylon Tours and Matilda for a great experience!!

Our guide was knowledgeable and delightful! Learned lots of juicy bits we never knew before that enhanced our visit and enjoyment.

We appreciated the guided tour through the museum. We saw more items than if we were visiting on our own. Andi's background information gave us more understanding of the artifacts.

Jaime was wonderful. He was very knowledgeable and passionate about the history. He answered our questions with very informing insight and was extremely helpful with everything.

Our tour with Becky was amazing. I have been to the National Gallery many times before, but Becky´s vast knowledge and enthusiasm made this visit very special. The 2 ½ hours were filled with great stories about paintings, history and fun facts. We learned a lot and saw paintings in a completely new light. We will definitely book another tour with Becky in the future, thank you for a wonderful afternoon. Karen and Helmut

Stephanie was a fantastic guide for our tour in British Museum. She is very knowledgeable and friendly. Although it is impossible to see even a fraction of the museum in a couple of hours, she did a great job of guiding us to a number of the most interesting exhibits, and helped contextualize them with some background and related commentary.
