Brings history to life
I just had an amazing experience at the British Museum with Rosa as our guide. She totally tailored the tour for my daughter, who’s studying classics, and made everything super interesting.
Rosa really knows her stuff and has a way of bringing history to life with her stories. Plus, she’s hilarious! We were all engaged the whole time, and she went above and beyond, even staying overtime to make sure we saw everything we wanted.
It felt more like hanging out with a friend who’s really knowledgeable than just a regular tour. If you ever get the chance to tour with Rosa, do it! Thanks for a fantastic day, Rosa!
