London Bible Tour takes you through the British Museum, and National Gallery, connecting numerous artifacts and paintings to Bible verses, helping you discover the common thread that weaves the books and people together.
- Is your Bible study suffering?
- Are certain sections of the Bible are "black boxes"?
- How do famous Biblical people fit into a timeline?
- Is it hard to explain the Bible to others?
- How did ancient empires affect Israel?
- Is the Bible historically reliable?
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, 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. Self-discovery
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. 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.

What if I'm not very familiar with the Bible?
No problem! You will read the relevant Bible verses right in front of the artifacts and paintings. You'll learn the story and artifact.
Do I have to be a Christian?
Not at all. We give Hebrew Bible tours and tours that assume no knowledge of the Bible.
Is this suitable for children?
Absolutely! Because of the question-based nature of the tour, kids respond well to these questions, plus it enables the tour guide to adjust to the level of knowledge of the tour group members.
How historically accurate is the tour?
Our guides have biblical studies and archaeology backgrounds. We focus on historically verified artifacts and archaeological evidence from the biblical periods.
Can I combine this with the National Gallery tour?
Yes! We offer a complete experience package combining both tours. Many customers find this creates the ultimate biblical transformation journey.
