Then, be blown away by the craftsmanship and detail that the Parthenon Marbles boast, as you discover the contentious history of these masterpieces. Alongside your private expert guide, you'll also see mummies, Viking treasures, and even the chess set that inspired a magical version of the game in Harry Potter.

Jack was spectacular. Literally the most knowledgeable tour guide I have travelled with. I’m a history major and wanted an in-depth experience for me and my boys. He was full of history and also patience for 2 young boys. We did Westminster, food tour of a market, Churchill war rooms and british museum with him. Here is my advice: contact Jack when booking your trip immediately and have him be with you every single day for whatever tours he offers in and out of London. I wish there were 10 stars to give him instead of just 5.

Wow, wow, wow…… a tour of the British museum with Jack was absolutely outstanding.
Let’s get it right most things in museums are from a by-gone era a long long time ago, but with Jack it’s as almost has if he was able to bring everything back to life. His passion shines through like a beacon of light for this wonderful museum. Thanks Jack you sir are a legend
