Explore London like a local here
This is a day of exploration led by a qualified archaeologist. By following in the footsteps of the relic hunters and explorers you will learn about their adventures and the hazards they faced as you travel through time discovering the past through the world famous artifacts held in the museum.
WHAT’S THIS ALL ABOUT ?
This is a tour that will appeal to history buffs and the intellectually curious. There are two parts to your adventure. In the morning you will tour the museum, discovering the galleries while learning about the Rosetta Stone, the Parthenon Marbles and the Lewis chessmen.
In the afternoon you will hear about the geniuses who decoded ancient languages. Sumerian cuneiform - the earliest written language, and learn how to write your name in hieroglyphs.
There's a lot of science behind archaeology, but there are also secrets left untold. Mysteries that still elude the archaeologists of today. Learn about the ancient burial sites, and how objects are dated.
And for the last bit of icing on this history layer cake, you will be learning how to play the Royal game of Ur - whose rules were deciphered by, yes, the scholars based at the British Museum. It remains the world's most ancient board game.

We went to the cheese barge in August after I bought the experience for my husband’s birthday in March. To say it was brilliant is an under statement as it was way beyond brilliant. From the location to the cheese, wine plus the service and then the walk along the canal afterwards…well it was all so brilliant that it has now become a Christmas gift for another family member. A real twist on the ‘afternoon tea’ and just so enjoyable…and, oh, did I say the cheeses were pretty delicious too!
A really fun and creative way to spend a Saturday morning. Would definitely recommend
The Urban photography with James was a birthday present from my wife, all communications with Claire via Indytute were spot on and the meet was on time. James is a skilled photographer and all round nice chap who was able to communicate to the array of clients with varying skills, ages and equipment. The 90 minutes flew by and centred around four photography tasks to sharpen the skills. The last task was quite an enlightening experience for me, James instructed us to walk down Brick Lane and ask...
Such a relax session with Claire who was amazing, patient and so helpful. Loved the evening.
What a lovely day out. Woodstock is a small market town right by Blenheim Palace. We had a very pleasant lunch at The Crown. Service was excellent, food very good and set us up nicely for an afternoon at Blenheim Palace. Parking is very limited in Woodstock, but we managed to get a spot in a free car park in Union Street Car Park, just off Hensington Road. Blenheim Palace was wonderful, what a place. We joined a 45 minute tour inside the Palace and our guide was fantastic, very knowledgeab...
Food was really tasty and unique for an afternoon tea, a selection of dishes. Definitely left feeling full and while the portions look small, there are lots of courses like a tasting course! Would recommend to visit again! You do have to pay a discretionary service charge at the end however.
