5.00Stefania was very knowledgeable and accommodating. She modified the tour to our interests and was able to give background information for each of those exhibits.

5.00Damiano was an EXCELLENT guide! We took the tour with our 13 year old and 16 year old daughters. Damiano was excellent at engaging them. He provided us with wonderful, interesting facts and hit many fantastic highlights in the museum. He was able to read the level of interest and engagement of all of us and pivoted several times during the tour to keep interest and engagement. We learned a ton and even laughed many times in the tour. Such a WONDERFUL way to visit this incredible place without being overwhelmed. Worth every penny and more! Highly recommend this tour to families and small groups of friends.

5.00I have been to museums all Over the world and this experience today was the best yet. The breadth of subject matter was astounding. Our guide Damiano was superb. His basis of knowledge, friendliness, ability to recall information or find out answers to the questions we asked, as well as his approachability was unmatched. He was simply excellent. As a whole experience, this was the best museum visit my family and I have had. Bravo!!! Well done.
Excellent guide and amazing museum

5.00Damiano was terrific. He engaged the two reluctant teenagers in our group and we all really enjoyed the morning - the reading room was my favourite! Would not hesitate to visit again with Damiano to see more of this amazing museum.
Best tour!

5.00Damiano was amazing! We learned so much from him and would hire him in an INSTANT to guide us again. He was knowledgeable, had great facts for us, extremely flexible and generous with his time. Ask for him by name, you will not regret it. He made this experience wonderful and we look forward to seeing him in the future. We had him for both the art gallery and the British history museums and we could have double booked him for each day and it would barely be enough.
