Great tour guide!
Shannon_L, Apr 2024
Excellent tour. Damiano was very engaging with our kids. He was very knowledgeable and friendly. We would have been walking around aimlessly with a guide. We feel so lucky to be paired with Damiano!
Great family tour

Damiano's guided tour of the British Museum was one of the highlights of our trip. He tailored the experience to our interests, ensuring an immersive and informative journey. His friendly demeanor and expert navigation made the visit seamless, allowing us to cover extensive ground while still enjoying each exhibit's significance. Highly recommended.
British Museum Highlights Tour
Steve_Z, Nov 2023
An absolutely superb "highlights" private tour of the museum. Highly recommend if you've never been in the British Museum before OR simply want to see the highlights within a 2+ hour range of time. Our guide as friendly, personable, extremely knowledgeable and a lot of fun. I give this tour an A+.
Wonderful experience
Tamara_C, Nov 2023
Damiono was a fabulous guide! We shared with him our agenda when we arrived, and he was able to pivot on the spot effortlessly!! We had a wonderful experience.
British Museum is a must in London.
george_k, Oct 2023
Great way to get an overview of the British Museum as there is so much to see. Nice to see it was combined with history lessons and an overview of the challenges faced in the museum 'industry' as a whole.
Fabulous Museum Tour
Bruce_W, Sep 2023
Absolutely fabulous tour, regardless of whether or not you generally love art! Damian was awesome - knowledgeable; personable; good-humored - and focused on 6-7 wonderful pieces which were his favorites. Over a period of 2 years, apparently, he has studied and come to know virtually all pieces of art in the museum, and he continually strives to sharpen his skills in describing and providing background on all of them.
More than worth the money

Damion was a wonderful guide. He made the museum come alive. He was eager to answer our questions Although I had been to the museum before. He enabled me to see a new side of the exhibits. .

Damiano was an excellent tour guide. He is very entertaining and knowledgeable. We had a great time!!
Worth every penny!!!
Lisa_B, Aug 2023
Our guide was lovely and kept our 3 kids (13, 10 and 10) engaged. She guided us through the massive, very crowded museum to the "highlights", providing background to understand the collections. She was flexible with what we specifically wanted to see. Well worth the cost!
Amazing tour with Damiano
vcrinza_t, Aug 2023
Damiano is a excellent guide that make the tour much more informative and interesting. Just hope that could last longer.
Patient but limited scope of tour.
Salvador_N, Aug 2023
Patient with slow members of group but we did not see enough of the museum. I would like to have visited at least half of the rooms with the guide instead of only a fraction.
Fantastic Tour
Matt_C, Aug 2023
What a fabulous morning tour! Damiano, our guide, was knowledgeable but also light hearted and interesting. He kept all of four of us including two teenagers engaged. The Museum can be overwhelming (in a good way, but still). Damiano helped us connect to the experience in a wonderful way! I recommend the tour very highly.
Best Guide in London
Kathy_J, Aug 2023
Stephania ‘s subject matter expertise was intriguing and interesting. The British Museum has a very large antiquities collection from Egypt, Rome,Greece and Mexico . Our guide brought it to life . It’s a must see.
Get Yourself the Private Tour
David_K, Aug 2023
Damieno was excellent! He was personable and tailored the your to us. He consistently checked in and offered both in-depth or overviews depending on our interest level. The museum is HUGE; get a guide!
British Museum Private Tour
Jody_M, Jul 2023
Stefania was perfect. Couldn’t have asked for anything more. She maneuvered the horrendous crowd expertly, a wealth of information. We wanted a taste of the Museum and she was perfect. We now can go back and spend some time there because she gave us a highlight tour.
Amazing guided tour
Yoginy_P, Jul 2023
Amazing Tours! Damiano was extremely accommodating with our schedule. We had a bit of a rough start to our trip to London with delays and cancellations to our flights. Damiano was extremely understanding to our needs, and made adjustments to his day to accommodate our whole family. He is very knowledgeable, and made the experience of our tour very memorable.
Great Experience
