A Family-Friendly Tour That Delivers for Every Generation - Damiano was an amazing guide for our entire family -- found a way to make the tour energetic, informative, and fun for a group ranging from 6 to 76 -- no small feat! We would recommend this tour to any family interested in learning more about the library's collections.

The right way to see the British! - Visiting the British Museum with Damiano was the best choice we could make. In addition to knowing all the secrets of the museum, he also managed to involve our three children, keeping their attention high and having fun for 2 hours, during which he showed us the most important finds and many curiosities. He is very nice and competent, we highly recommend it!

Great for families - Excellent tour with Damiano. He was extremely knowledgeable and did an amazing job engaging our kids ages 9 and 11. He really helped us get the most out of our visit. It’s a must to help navigate the vast museum and learn much more than we would have without a guide. He was one of the best guides we have had.

Excellent - The guide was very knowledgeable and accommodating. Very nice personality. Our guide extended our tour to 1 o’clock as the security line to get into the British Museum was an hour and 15 minutes long. So we had a late start.

Great British Museum tour - Great tour of the most important pieces of the British museum. Damiano was a great guide. He was very knowledgeable and was great at keeping our 12 yr old engaged and interested.

Great Tour with Friendly and Knowledgeable Guide Damiano - Great tour! Damiano was our guide and contacted us the day before with our tickets and instructions on where to meet. He was friendly, interactive, and selected some highlights of the museum to make the most of our time and gave us detailed information about each one. With a knowledgeable guide the exhibits are like windows in time and if we returned I would book with Damiano again. Our tour was two hours but you could spend all day at the museum, so I would recommend leaving some time in your itinerary after the tour to revisit areas of interest and explore new ones. There are eateries on site and in the courtyard so you can take a break for refreshment if you’re staying longer. Enjoy!

British Museum - Very crowded in this museum and it is huge. Our guide was very good and entertaining. We would have never seen the Rosetta Stone without him.

British museum tour - Damiano provided an exceptional, informative, and good-natured tour of the British museum. I cannot recommend him and this tour enough for anyone with only a couple hours to spend in the museum. Bravo.
