Is the Bible not clear?

Connect numerous artifacts and paintings to verses, and discover the Bible in a new and exciting way.

London Bible Tours takes you through the British Museum and National Gallery, where you will read verses in front of artifacts and paintings, helping you to understand the Bible at a deeper level.

During the tour, you'll make the connections in two ways:

1. Read the Bible for yourself

Instead of hearing the tour guide’s interpretation of the passages, you’ll read the verses in your own preferred translation and language, at your speed. By reading the verse in front of the artifact or painting, you’ll remember it and the verse better.

The next time you read this verse, you’ll remember standing in the British Museum or National Gallery.

2. Guided self-discovery – No “Listen-Only Mode”

Instead of listening to a tour guide’s one-way talk, you will be asked a series of gentle questions that prompt you to the answer. Guided self-discovery is the best way to learn, and by saying the answer in front of the artifact or painting, you’ll remember it and the answer better.

 Verified It was our first time in London and definitely didn't want to miss The British Museum. We intentionally wanted to focus on Biblical archaeology, and was pleasantly surprised to come across David's guided tour offer. He was indeed quite organized, intentional, knowledgeable, engaging, friendly, and funny! We loved how he put the material evidence and biblical text side by side, even helping us guide (and think!) through what we know and can recall from the Bible to connect the relevance of the artifact with the scripture and its context. We appreciated too how he cultivated our personal appreciation and journey with reading the Bible, in a way that still links it back to the tour's focus while indulging in some side notes and display peeps as time would allow. Thank you David for sharing your time, efforts, and knowledge! It's such a special gift and talent. Until next time. Your eager Bible learners from Manila, Michael and Marian

 Verified David brought the Bible to life during this tour. Being able to read the Scripture and visualize artifacts related to the text brought a different level of understanding. He was engaging even with my 11 year old daughter who was on the tour as well. The time really just flies by. Make sure to download your Bible app and ensure it can be read on airplane mode.

 Verified David did a wonderful job of guiding us to see the connections between the Bible and pieces in the museum. The tour made the museum much more meaningful. Highly recommended!

 Verified David is a most excellent tour guide. His attention to detail on the topics are outstanding. His devotion and understanding of the Biblical material shown cannot be matched. With my particular tour, I saw over 80 artifacts. David had remembered the order of each and when the tour completed he sent a detailed email that included information on every one with a link to the website showing the articles seen. It was unique to the tour I was given. Pretty amazing. Also, my tour was on Friday and the hours of the museum were extended, David kept the tour going later than scheduled. Several of the members had left and David kept going to show me a few more things that I had interest in just for myself. I couldn't thank him enough. On top of that David kept going that night even after I had to leave. He needed to do a little more research on a few things. If you are trying to decide if this tour is worth it. All I can say is that it is. Biblically, it really helps to understand the timeline.

 Verified My husband and I LOVED our time with David. He was so knowledgeable and made so many parts of the Bible come to life in a new way. I only wish we had time to cover even more areas. We highly recommend this tour. It was amazing!

Is this tour for me?

Yes, if you want to illuminate familiar passages in a new light, find the Bible dull and confusing, or are unsure of its historical reliability.

No problem! You will read the relevant Bible verses right in front of the artifacts. You'll learn about the passage and the artifact.

Can I customize the tour?

Yes, you can choose whatever galleries. Please contact us ahead of time so that we can prepare.

Is this suitable for children?

Can I take photos?

Yes, you can take all of the photos you want. Clear off a lot of phone memory if you love to take photos. Photos are the best way to remember the artifacts.
