My friend and I thoroughly enjoyed this tour with Jack! He is very knowledgeable and enthusiastic, and showed us the highlights of the museum while also covering more of Egypt and Greece, which we had requested. Jack really knows the museum and it’s shortcuts, secret passageways, and was able to guide us from one location to the next, enabling us to visit more artifacts and learn more about their historical significance. This was also helpful as an introduction to the museum and to orient ourselves to later explore the museum on our own.

The tour Guide Jack who was most knowledgeable and passionate and obviously loves his archaeology. The whole team was very impressed and enjoyed it we wished we got there earlier as we were running late.

Jack provided an excellent overview of the British Museum, expertly guiding us through the “popular” spots (i.e. Rosetta stone, mummies, and Elgin’s Marbles), and highlighting the fascinating contexts surrounding each item. What was even more interesting, however, were the lesser-known galleries, where his seemingly endless well of facts and anecdotes kept us engaged - and this was no small task, given that our group ranged in age from 10 to 40! Highly recommend Jack and Bespoke Britain!
