Beoordelingen van gasten over onze tours en locals
"Rosa helped to give us a great experience during our afternoon at the British Museum. Instead of trying to see everything, she went in-depth on certain parts of the museum, and gave us some wonderful background and stories. She kept it interesting for the whole family and knew the "secrets" to avoided some of the more crowded areas at specific times. Highly recommend. "
"If you’re visiting the British Museum, I highly recommend signing on with Rosa as your tour guide. We learned so much more than we would have through reading placards alone (if we had the patience to do so). She made sure we saw the main highlights and gave us the full story. Given the museum is so large, this made the process much more manageable. "
"Our flight to London was delayed by a day so we messaged Rosa to tell her we would miss our scheduled tour of The British Museum. She graciously adjusted to a different day and helped us squeeze in a whirlwind 90 minute tour of the museum, focusing on a few highlights we really wanted to see. As a guide she was knowledgeable, passionate, and helpful. Thank you, Rosa!"
"We had a wonderful tour with Rosa yesterday morning. The museum was absolutely mobbed, as usual, but Rosa brought us to exactly the right places with ease. She gave us distilled overviews with great stories and a lot of humour, and in a way that I think we will remember for a very long time. We’d highly recommend Rosa."

"Rosa was wonderful. We had a great experience. We got to see the areas we told Rosa we wanted to see. She was very informative. Also due to our physical limitations she accommodated our needs very well. We would highly recommend Rosa"
"Matilda, thank you so much for a wonderful journey through the British Museum. Our kids, ages 9 and 13, enjoyed the stories behind the artifacts. And the adults did too! We learned a lot from you and it was all done at a perfect pace. I recommend this tour for families or even just the adults. Thanks again! "
"I have had other guides in the past, both group and private, and Matilda is the best I have ever seen! She’s organized, extremely knowledgeable, with deep interest in museums and artifacts, and full of enthusiasm. She showed us the highlights of the museum without making it feel canned or something we would have seen on your own, so I walked away with a sense of having seen most of the museum, which I had t but if felt this way. I was with my teenage daughter who enjoyed it just as much. Matilda asked if we wanted to stop at anytime for a break which we didn’t and she made the 3 hours pass by so quickly with stories, interesting facts, analysis, and cross-referenced. She’s full of enthusiasm and her love of history and museums is contagious. "
"Had an amazing tour with Jenoe through the British Museum. She is super knowledgeable and pleasant and I can absolutely recommend her. We had a fantastic time. Thank you!"
"My husband and I had an absolutely amazing time with Rosa during our tour of the British Museum. She is funny, insightful, patient and clearly very knowledgable about the galleries and the significance of every piece. We were with her from 10:30a-2p and the only reason we had to stop was we had a train to catch. She offered to stay longer which we wish we could have done! Couldn't recommend more - the time with Rosa was worth every penny. We can't wait to come back to London, book another tour with her and see even more of the museum!"
"The British Museum is a must-see stop for London visitors and while I have visited in the past, this was my husband's first visit. The best booking we made this trip was with our guide Rosa, whose delightful, warm and engaging personality held a superpower - she possesses a storyteller's gift for sharing her incredible depth of knowledge about the many art treasures and culture inside this landmark collection. She personalized the tour by asking us many questions about our interests and never rushed us - her great sense of humor and patience made for our favorite London museum experience ever! "
