Join us as we explore the vast collection in London’s Natural History Museum! Enjoy an intimate tour experience (no more than 8 guests per group) with one of our certified guides, who will take you through the must-see highlights of this 80 million-specimen collection. You’ll visit Sophie the Stegosaurus and the long-extinct Dodo and gape at the rare Archaeopteryx, believed to be the “missing link” between dinosaurs and birds.
Stand awestruck by a cross-section of Giant Sequoia – a tree already 1300 years old when it was felled in the 19th century – then visit plaster casts taken of the victims of the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in Pompeii. After exploring this stunning collection, we hope you’ll be left with a new appreciation for the beauty and complexity of the world around us.
