British Museum Tour - Damiano was very knowledgeable and shared a wealth of information about key items at the British museum. The tour was excellent and two hours flew by. It was one of the highlights of our trip to London.

Great Value - Damiano was extremely knowledgeable and highly charismatic. He was willing to customize the morning to our interests. We stayed in the museum after our tour and it was a far less exciting experience without him. Highly recommend this tour, and it came at a fraction of the price of some of the competition.

Friendly, helpful and knowledgeable guide. - Damiano was our guide and he was very knowledgeable. He was great about taking us to see the most important things (e.g. the Elgin marbles) and telling us their stories. It seemed short, because there’s so much to see, so clearly we didn’t see everything. We had the feeling that we could take the same tour several times with Damiano, and we’d see different things each time. He would not have run out of things to tell us. Expensive, but recommended.

British Museum Highlights Tour - 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+.
