We did the private British Museum and Tower of London tours on a trip to London with our 7 and 10 year old boys. Before this, we’ve never been able to keep our kids interested at a museum for more than one hour max. But our guide Alexandra was amazing and had them engaged the entire time for both tours! The British Museum tour was around 3 hours long and the Tower of London was about 3.5 hours. Alexandra did a great job keeping the kids engaged with a fun scavenger hunt, activities and flash cards. While kid oriented, the tour was also interesting for grownups - as Alexandra is extremely knowledgeable (about basically everything). She was also great about (very politely) pushing back when museum staff tried to close an exhibit 10 minutes early. I highly recommend - especially if you have school- age children. This was one of the splurges we made for tie trip and I’m so glad we did. It was worth the price. I would definitely use this tour company again if we ever take another family trip to London.
