Spend some precious alone time with some of the most impressive pieces in the British Museum’s treasured collection on this extra special private access tour. Setting out ahead of the crowds, this tour takes you inside the British Museum before it even opens to the public, allowing you to experience the peaceful space as very few others have before. 

Your tour begins with a brief introduction from your expert guide, who not only holds the key to one of the magnificent rooms inside, but also the key to unlocking the secrets and stories behind some of the museum’s most beautiful curiosities.

Beginning by unlocking the door to Ancient Egypt, you’ll come face to face with the Rosetta Stone and stirring Ramesses II, and spend some uninterrupted time taking in the fascinating stories that surround them.

As the public now begins to trickle in to the building, your tour is on to a still-quiet Ancient Greece and to the Parthenon Marbles and stirring Lely’s Venus. From there you’ll be immersed in the Life, Death and Afterlife of Ancient Egypt, where a mummy of a cat and the Gebelein Man (aka ‘Ginger’) are awaiting your discovery.

Meet the spellbinding Bronze Statue of Tara in China and South East Asia, and learn all about the ornate ceramic tiles of the Ming Dynasty before finally finishing up with the beautifully preserved Hoa Hakananai’a of the iconic Easter Island moai.

This special tour of the British Museum is truly a once-in-a-lifetime way to experience one of the world’s most impressive collections of human history, art and culture.

Gratuities to guides are appreciated but never obligatory.
