Forget about big groups of strangers or running after a guide with a tight schedule leading a big group. Treat your family, your friends, your partner or just yourself with this PRIVATE tour. No strangers will be part of the group, only you and whoever is travelling with you. In two hours you will visit the most important artifacts and lesser know objects. In this private tour you will be able to learn about many different civilizations in the humanity's history at your own pace, without having to follow a large group. The guide will be friendly, professional and will customize the tour according to the group needs, for example in case of couples or families with kids adapting the approach. The British Museum is huge but in 2 hours you will have an overview of the most significant objects like, but not limited to, the Rosetta Stone, Ramses II, Double headed serpent, Parthenon Marbles, the Moai from Easter Island, Lewis Chessmen, the Waddesdon Bequest and the Assyrian Lamassu.

5.00Joe may have been the best tour guide we’ve ever had in our decades of travel. Super knowledgeable—his university studies were in the field of classics—providing a wealth of knowledge and understanding during our tour of the. British Museum. Joe was smart, funny, interesting and deeply engaging. Would definitely request him for another tour.

5.00Exploring the British Museum with DS Tours was an excellent experience. Our guide, Damiano, was incredibly fun and personable, making the entire tour both engaging and enjoyable. Having a private guide turned out to be the best way to experience the museum because it helped us focus on the most significant artifacts and use our time wisely. We also really appreciated the detailed instructions sent via WhatsApp the day before, which made it easy to find our guide and enter the museum without any stress. Spending a few hours with Damiano was a pleasure, and we learned so much about an amazing museum. We definitely would not have enjoyed the visit nearly as much without a guide. Highly recommend.

5.00Damiano is top! Excellent humor, smooth guy and therefore perfect to walk through the museum with your teenage son for 2 hours. He guided us past the highlights and past his favorite pieces. Highly recommended, if you ask me!;-)

5.00We had an incredible experience exploring London with Jeremy as our tour guide! He was absolutely fantastic—extremely knowledgeable, engaging, and genuinely fun to be around. Jeremy did an amazing job keeping our entire family interested, blending London’s rich history with a modern and entertaining twist that made everything come alive. What really stood out was how personable and passionate he is as a guide. He made the tour feel special and interactive rather than just informational. If you’re looking for a great tour guide in London, I can’t recommend Jeremy enough—he truly made our visit unforgettable!
