Visiting the British Museum with my family was a wonderful experience, made even better by the priority entrance and audio tour. Skipping the main queue saved us time and kept the kids engaged from the start. The audio guide was clear, informative, and easy for all ages to follow, helping us navigate the vast collection without feeling overwhelmed. A perfect mix of education and fun highly recommended for families exploring London together.

I bought the skip-the-line ticket and it worked perfectly! We met with a representative near the museum who let us in through a side entrance. The ticket gives you access to an app where you can find explanations of the artworks — it would be better to have earphones. Great option to avoid the long entrance queue!

    We loved the mummies and the Egyptian artefacts! Also the hands on tables were great! The staff were very informative. It is a beautiful building. It was just a little bit too hot and crowded.

    The logistic simplicity. We were told to go to an easy to find location. When we went there we found a very pleasant and helpful guide waiting who gave us a list and audio guides for the more popular exhibits and then escorted us through a zero wait entry into British museums.
