Everyone will enjoy the tour, but the lowest age is probably around 16. Most groups are mixed in age and background, including some who are unsure about the Bible, and the tour will be pitched accordingly. You have to be physically able to walk between galleries, although there are lifts if stairs are a difficulty.
Highlights of the Tour:
1. Rosetta Stone (key to the hieroglyphs)
2. Codex Sinaiticus (oldest Bible in the world at 325AD)
3. Codex Alexandrinus (3rd oldest NT in world)
4. Taylor Prism (Isaiah and Hezekiah)

"The start with the extraordinary treasures from Ur was one of the best and most "brain-catching" introductions to any lecture/demonstration I have ever attended."
Retired Gentleman 2009
“The Tour to the British Museum and Library was awe inspiring. It was great seeing things that confirmed what I believed in for so long. I left the tour thinking " There is a God he is alive!”
