This tour features entirely new content and objects we have never used before. We really hope you enjoy learning about the reputations and historical background of many well known Bible characters, and the names they made with God.
We use 3D images, maps, artists' impressions, and a unique walk-through view of the British Museum, this feels like you are actually visiting in person with one of our experienced guides. We also maintain small group sizes so you can interact as we discover the fascinating links to the Bible.
London's most experienced Bible Tours team is very happy to offer tours with the smallest essential booking fee possible. We were given specific permission to offer virtual tours in this way by the British Museum back in April 2020.
Please note our tours are not designed to replace any aspect of regular worship or spiritual instruction. We do not use any images or copyright material found in the publications or on jw.org for obvious reasons. We conduct these tours in the same way that we do when we offer in-person tours in the British Museum, alongside other commercial tour groups.
We feature The Royal Game of Ur on this tour, you might like to play it yourself for free using this link.
