If you are looking for an Italian guide to the British Museum, you won't go wrong here! - Very nice family experience, above all thanks to the great professionalism and clear passion that our guide Damiano was able to fully express during our tour.
Engaging with the younger ones, he showed us the best of the British Museum... at its best.
I highly recommend for families with children or teenagers!
Thanks Damiano!

Fantastic - Fantastic tour with Stephania. She was the perfect person to show us around the museum. Knowledgeable. Friendly. Interesting. So much to see in the museum but she made sure we not only saw the important stuff, but understood it. Five stars all around.

A great opportunity to see the history of the world! - This was a terrific tour and the best way to see a museum that can be overwhelming. We only had a few hours and our guide Damiano made the whole experience perfect. We met him at the gate and didn’t have to wait in the massive queue and then were able to see the best highlights along with a number of other amazing exhibits we never would’ve otherwise made the time to see, All with great descriptions and explanations. We took several tours on this trip for the London Marathon and this was by far the most worthwhile and enjoyable. Highly recommended!

Great tour guide! - 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!
