Interesting, but expensive

3.00I enjoyed this and the guide was knowledgeable, but it is pretty expensive for two hours. Probably could rent the audio guide, but it would take longer.
World class tour guide Damiano provided a world class experience.

5.00⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Our tour of the British Museum was absolutely unforgettable, thanks to our incredible guide! Damiano!! From the very beginning, Damiano brought the galleries to life with passion, knowledge, and storytelling that kept me completely engaged. Instead of just listing facts, he connected the artifacts to the bigger picture of history, culture, and humanity in a way that was both fascinating and easy to understand. Damiano’s enthusiasm was contagious—he clearly loves being a tour guide and it shows. Every question I asked was answered thoughtfully and with great depth, making the experience feel personalized and truly special. I left not only with a deeper appreciation of the museum but also with a sense of wonder about history itself. If you’re planning to visit the British Museum, I cannot recommend this guide highly enough. Damiano turned a world-class museum into a world-class experience. If I could give more than 10 stars, I would!
Great tour with Damiano

5.00We had a two hour guided tour with Damiano. He was fantastic! he is knowledgeable, witty, friendly, and fun to spend a couple of hours with. We’ve been to the British Museum in the past, but we never had a guide and it was such a better experience having a knowledgeable person take us through some of the exhibits. we got a lot out of the experience, and I would highly recommend Damiano to anyone. He’s a great guide!
Even the most omniscient...

5.00Even the most omniscient curator could not possibly do justice to the tens of thousands of objects in the British museum in 2 and 1/2 hours or 2 and 1/2 Weeks. I was lucky to have Joseph as a guide through the Egypt and early Greek portions of the collection and he was knowledgeable, charming and had a great sense of humor.
Paul was a SUPERB guide! Great afternoon!

5.00Paul was a very knowledge, kind, and easy-going tour guide. Truly one of the best guides we’ve spent time with. We were also expecting a semi-private tour, but it was our lucky day; our tour was fully private and relaxed and we set the pace. Paul was also very attentive to our needs and comfort.
