Guidekin's take

Pair British Museum highlights with a walk towards Trafalgar Square and Covent Garden on a private tour for your party.

A guide adapts the visit for children; moderate fitness is required and museum gallery closures may change the selection. 4.94 from 54 reviews at €259 per person for 3h.
