    We had to squeeze the British Museum into the final day in London. Having a reservation to avoid the long lines on Easter weekend allowed us to have 3 full hours touring the wonders housed in this magnificent place.

    Two hours before the booked appointment we were contacted we were contacted by your local representative by phone and also by WhatsApp and told the meeting point (Russell Square fountain). Then the group gathered there and we were led to the back entrance of the Brit. After a short wait, we were able to enter the museum quickly.
