London: British Museum Guided Tour

7.British Museum Guided Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 1,182 reviews · 2 hours · from $23

A 2-hour guided taste of the British Museum, from the Great Court ceiling to Rosetta Stone, mummies, and the Parthenon sculptures.

“The museum is really stunning , foul of treasures from all over the world. Phillomena was very passionate in informing and explaining these treasures and travle our minds through the history. The only thing that could have been better is if the tour hade less information about the museum itself , and have this time to admire even more exhibits. There are endless after all!”

★★★★★★★★★★4.2 · 511 reviews · 1.5 hours · from $58

Afternoon tea at the British Museum Great Court Restaurant with organic teas, finger sandwiches, scones with clotted cream, and optional Prosecco.

“We had a lovely afternoon tea at the British Museum. The staff were friendly and accommodating, food was tasty and it has a really nice atmosphere. Would definitely visit again if I go back to the museum. Would recommend booking if looking to visit as we saw quite a few people being turned away as they had no bookings.”

London: Tickets for Moco Modern & Contemporary Art Museum

13.Tickets for Moco Modern & Contemporary Art Museum

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 391 reviews · 1h 30m · from $21

A 90-minute, three-floor art visit at Moco London with Banksy, Warhol, Basquiat, Picasso, and a new Robbie Williams exhibition plus digital rooms.

“Totally enjoyed the exhibition, loved the interactive exhibitions which were fun, installations were you can become part of the art work, could have stayed all day in the changing light exhibit. Robbie Williams visual art was interesting with his focus on mental health and the vulnerability that he wasn’t afraid to show, thought provoking. I would go again.”

London: Postal Museum Entry Ticket and Underground Rail Ride

14.Postal Museum Entry Ticket and Underground Rail Ride

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 363 reviews · 1.5 hours · from $24

Postal Museum ticket plus Mail Rail ride in London, see the Penny Black, flintlock defenses, interactive sorting, then a 15-minute underground train.

“So interesting as we weren't sure what to expect. Loved the train ride with the commentary and the videos on the walls, and the interactive section afterwards - how did the train letter sorters manage to stay standing! Ran out of time in the main exhibition, so busy reading stories like the mail stagecoach horse being attacked by a lioness! Will definitely go back to see the rest. Luckily the tickets last for a year.”
