    Eduardo, our guide, was very knowledgeable (Phd in history) and interactive, and this made the tour even better! The pace of the tour was very good to everyone there, and we could ask as many questions as we wanted. There’s so much to be seen at the British museum that one could easily lose himself there. That’s why a guided tour is highly recommended!

      Outstanding

      This was one of the best things we did. GYG contracted a company called Paseando por Europa with a guide called Fernando, who is working as teacher in London’s University. It was a privilege to have Fernando as our guide. He did an outstanding tour through the museum, guiding us across some of the most relevant things of the museum in two hours.
