Study notes and optional folding stools are included; guiding is offered in only one language. 5 from 143 reviews at €66 per person for 3h–4h. ## Overview Is the Bible not as clear as you would like it to be? In this semi-private guided tour, you'll go through the British Museum, connecting numerous ancient artifacts to verses, helping you to discover the common thread that weaves the books and people together. Verses are no longer just words on a page when you see an ancient artifact bring the passage to life. By placing each event on a timeline, you'll understand how they relate to one another. You'll remember the artifacts and verses in two ways: 1. Read the Bible for yourself: Instead of hearing the guide's interpretation, you'll read the verses in your own translation in front of the artifact. You'll remember the artifact and the verse better. 2. Socratic questioning: Instead of listening to a guide's one-way talk, you'll be asked gentle questions that prompt you to the answer. Self-discovery is the best way to learn, and by saying the answer in front of the artifact, you'll remember the artifact and the answer better. ## Before you book - Meeting point: Meet *outside* the entrance to Reading… - Min. 2 to book: not for solo travellers - Starts 13:00: one departure a day - Wheelchair accessible: operator-marked - Strollers OK: infants accepted - Children from €12: ages 8 to 12 ## Key facts - Price: from €66 per person - Duration: 3h–4h - Rating: 5.0/5 from 143 reviews (collected from Guidekin & Viator & Tripadvisor) - Free cancellation (see policy below) - Recommended by 100% of travellers (share of four- and five-star reviews) - Operator: London Bible Tours - Minimum booking: 2 travellers at this price ## Tour options Prices are the operator's current list price for two travellers (whole euros); options sold only to bigger parties say so; pick the option on the booking page. | Option | Price | Guide languages | Details | |---|---|---|---| | Saturday 1pm Afternoon | €66 / person (for 2+ people) | English | - | | Saturday October 3 @ 1pm | €66 / person (for 2+ people) | English | - | | Bible Study Tour Through the British Museum | €66 / person (for 2+ people) | English | - | ## What's included - Optional portable folding stools - Google Doc of study notes including a comprehensive list of Bible verses related to the artifacts ## Itinerary 1. **The British Museum** (3h) - We start with the Assyrian, Egyptian and Greek galleries on the ground floor.
