Traveller reviews
Pepe is great. Lots of additional context to the exhibits and he is good and patient with children.
We have been on many tours in our travels. Our tour of the British with Luca is the best we have ever experienced! Their knowledge was amazing and they could answer all of our questions! It was thoroughly delightful, educational, and well worth the cost. We will be looking for more tours with Liv.
Had a fabulous time. The guide (Luca) was amazing. He had a great depth of knowledge about everything we saw.
Luca was an amazing guide and also very knowledgeable. He gave great information about everything we saw and took his time to explain if we were not sure.
Luca was an exceptional tour guide. His knowledge and warm personality made it a memorable experience. If there was a higher rating it would be a 20. Thank you, Luca, it was so nice meeting you!
Luca was pretty awesome and gave us detailed info on a lot of the attractions, e.g. the Reading Room, remnants of the Seven Wonders of the World, and the Rosetta Stone. The kids found all the extra knowledge very interesting and we had a great time at the British Museum.
Luca was a fantastic and knowledgeable guide for the museum, we saw all of the core parts of the museum and learned a lot about Britain and the world. I would highly recommend him and liv any time!
We had a wonderful tour with our guide, Luca Gavasci. He was knowledgeable and friendly. Luca managed to overcome the overwhelming nature of the British Museum by helping us notice and understand the logic behind the exhibits. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with him.
