Tour guide was a no show while we wanted outside in the cold wind. Tour operator didn’t respond for hours to customer service. Miraculously a “technical glitch” causing trouble seeing the reservation resolved itself quickly with an instant refund. Meanwhile we booked expedited exhibit tickets to skip the line. We had a great time on our own walking the museum
Absolutely fantastic, fast track tickets meant we avoided the queues. Our guide Aaron was excellent, he arrived 5 mins early and immediately put us at ease with his cheerful manner and we knew we were in good hands. He is an actual real life palaeontologist, (very handy when looking at dinosaurs) but his expertise extends further than "just" dinosaurs. His passion and knowledge, not only of the exhibits but also the museum itself was infectious. This is not the usual point and tell tour. Aaron answered our million questions patiently and with a great sense of humour and we learnt a lot. We both highly recommend this tour and having Aaron as our guide made it worth every penny.
Dear Rob, thank you so much for your enthusiastic feedback! We're thrilled to hear that you had an absolutely fantastic experience with us. It's wonderful to know that the Aaron, your guide, exceeded your expectations. Aaron's cheerful manner and expertise as a real-life palaeontologist clearly made a significant impression. We're delighted that his passion and knowledge extended beyond dinosaurs. We strive to provide immersive experiences where curiosity and learning are at the forefront, and it sounds like Aaron's engaging approach truly brought the museum to life for you. We greatly appreciate your recommendation of our Travel Curious tour and are thrilled to hear that Aaron's guidance made it worthwhile for you. If you have any photos to share we would love to see them! They will inspire other travellers alike to go on a trip with Aaron as a guide. Looking forward to welcoming you back on another Travel Curious adventure soon.
The place is sublime, the worlds are diverse and very interesting! Allow a good half day to visit all the sectors. Especially since all museums are free in London, remember to register in advance to save time in lines!
The firs greta museum of natural history and still fantastic to visit. Free but it can be a delay to get in particularly in summer. In winter, when were there it was a walk straight in. What a collection in what a building. Inspiration and a tribute to the man behind it all. Great for the kids.
If you want to experience this amazing museum, Do it with a guide! Mr Anthony Matthews was the guide that took us through the museum with the knowledge of a scholar and lita of humor to make the Trip through the ages interesting and enjoyable!
I recently spent my second day looking around this museum, and still haven't seen half the exhibits here. Unless you want to do nothing more than look at your surroundings and quickly move on, you need to be able to devote plenty of time if you find this place interesting, and it's difficult to see how anyone could fail to. There is something that will appeal to everyone and all age groups, particularly the interactive sections. There is a dinosaur exhibition that includes an enormous moving, roaring T-Rex. It's a magnificent spectacle that's bound to thrill and frighten. The environment is comfortable in terms of temperature, and it's appropriately lit depending on what the visitor is looking at. There are places to eat and drink and museum shops selling a variety of things, models, jewellery, postcards and books, etc. The staff are courteous and helpful and the entrance is free but visitors are able to make a donation of whatever amount they choose near the door.
