Adrian was my guide for the 12 PM tour at the National Maritime Museum, and he was awesome—super professional and really knowledgeable. I happened to walk in just as the tour was starting, and I’m so glad I did! For a full hour of interesting facts and a guided walk around, the price is great, especially with the student discount, which I was excited about. It’s a really fun way to see the museum and learn about English history. Highly recommend!
