Overview

London’s Natural History Museum houses some eight million exhibits across four zones, making it difficult for visitors to home in on the highlights independently without pre-planning. Save time with a privately guided tour that lets you avoid random roaming by focusing on the museum’s must-see specimens. Plus having a guide all to yourself means you’ll clearly hear the full stories behind the exhibits, learning secrets and details you might have missed otherwise.
  • See the best of London's Natural History Museum on a private tour
  • Save time, learn more: be shown and hear about the must-sees with a guide

Grossly overpriced
Margaret_B, Apr 2024
My rating is to reflect the value for money and not the museum or tour guide. At almost £450 for 2 people it is grossly overpriced. I had booked it for my husband’s 70th Birthday and was expecting something quite special. In retrospect we’d have been better doing a self guided tour and spending this money on something else!
Wonderful

An amazing tour with our guide Andy. The museum was very busy, having Andy there to guide us through and point out interesting and fun facts for the kids was awesome. He made it very enjoyable for them. I would highly recommend doing this tour and if you get Andy then you'll have the best experience!
Highly recommend a few hours with Andi to explore a historic London museum full of wonder!

Becky was the best! Very knowledgeable and fun. Knew how to get around the crowd and show you the important displays. Totally recommend her to anyone.
Definitely worth the extra expense!
Suzel_M, Apr 2023
We were very impressed with our guide Anthony Matthews. Not only did he bring a wealth of knowledge, he interspersed his commentary with personal stories that really helped to capture our interest. The museum is so big, and he helped guide us through to the best bits, otherwise I'm sure we'd have become overwhelmed and frustrated with the amount of displays and information. It was definitely worth the extra $$ to have a guide - highly recommend!

Absolutely fantastic experience
Laura_M, Jul 2022
Our tour guide, Becky, was exceptional! She had incredible knowledge and shared it in an interesting and engaging way. We learnt so much and got so much more out of our visit to the museum than we would've visiting on our own. The tour was well worth the money and I highly recommend it.

Luis was an enthusiastic guide, and provided a great overview of the museum highlights. His passion for sharing the museum with us made the visit very enjoyable.
Knowledgeable
Cynthia_P, May 2022
Great tour if you know there will be children on the tour or not. Hard to narrate the tour to both child level and adults.
Great experience!
George_F, Apr 2022
Our tour with Tony was really fantastic. He has a way of drawing you in with his excitement about the natural world, as he explains each magnificent specimen before you. I, personally, loved his emphasis on the science behind every dinosaur, fossil and gem we saw, while making it fun. How wonderful to have someone so knowledgeable and personable lead us through the some of the best the Natural History Museum has to offer. We’re so glad we booked this tour.
Fantastic tour at natural history museum London
