Hello there! I’m Dayan, but you can call me Dan! I’m originally from Brazil, (US) American Citizen, living in London and passionate about history and tourism. I’ve guided dozens of groups to Israel and Egypt and what a surprise to discover many of the treasures from that land here, in London, at the British Museum! I hope to take you on this unforgettable journey and to share some good knowledge while at the museum!

Tour description

I know, I know! Visiting a museum can be stressful sometimes. Specially one with 8 million objects and a place visited by more than 6 million people a year… it can be overwhelming! 

But at the same time, how can you visit London and not go to the British Museum??? (everybody will ask you this when you get back home, trust me!) 

THAT'S WHY I PUT TOGETHER THIS ROUTE AT THE BRITISH MUSEUM.
TO VISIT ONLY THE HIGHLIGHTS, MOST IMPORTANT, ESSENTIAL AND FAMOUS ITEMS.

 In just over one hour, I promise we will see:

  • EGYPTIAN
  • GREEK
  • ASSYRIAN
  • PERSIAN
  • ROMAN
  • POLYNESIAN
  • BRITISH

Art and other objects, sculptures and statues. I will share some very interesting facts and stories about it. 

 

YES IT IS POSSIBLE! 

So now you’ll have time to visit other hundred (or two hundred) important and unmissable places in London! 

 

Of course, we’ll go straight to the point when we get to the museum. 

Book now, get here in time and let’s enjoy the tour. 

 

Oh, Yes, I forgot to mention: you don’t even need to book tickets to the museum, I’ll take care of it. (Because it’s free ;-)  

We will meet under the columns, in front of the museum entrance just after you pass security!☺️🙏🏼

Dayan was a fantastic guide. The museum is so overwhelming and I only had a limited amount of time but I still wanted to see some of it. It was such a great walkthrough. Very concise as there are thousands of things to see, but the information was great and we hit the main points of the museum. I would definitely recommend this tour for anyone visiting the museum for the first time and/or if you're looking for a bit of knowledge behind some of the items, where they come from, and the controversies behind them.

Dayan was very knowledgeable, very professional, and most importantly, fun and lively. He texted us to make sure we were waiting at the right spot, and engaged with everyone with his interesting stories and discussions on the exhibits. Highly recommended!

Dayan hizo el recorrido de forma muy didáctica y amena. Vimos los imprescindibles y nos enteramos de la historia de todo lo visto. Nos quedamos algo más de tiempo de lo estipulado, lo cual fue una ventaja extra. Muy bueno el tour y el guía. Muy recomendable
