Explore the British Museum with a Self Guided Tour
3.0 / 5 · 2 traveler reviews
We're like a museum tour, but fun. We tell the stories you won't find on the wall labels. What You Get Access to a mobile app that guides you through the museum and makes the most of your visit. You'll have access to all of the following tours: Highlights (1 hr): TEN essentials Grand Tour (2 hrs): Icons + hidden gems Controversial (1 hr): Looted? Borrowed? Rescued? The objects everyone argues about. Solved and Unsolved Mysteries (1 hr): History’s greatest puzzles Who Is This For? For the 99% of us who aren't art historians. We focus on the juicy stories rather than the brushstrokes and colour palettes. Why Us? Other apps are generic, copy-pasted from Wikipedia. Our tours are written by actual humans who know how to tell a good story. Think of us as visiting a museum with your most knowledgeable friend, or a sold-out-for-months tour guide, minus the hefty price tag. IMPORTANT: ⚠️ Digital tour only. Entry not included.
