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.

5.00Wow!! What an amazing experience. To have a private guided tour pretty much tailored to what we wanted to see was the best decision. We had our two children with us (age 10 & 12) and our guide Damiano just made everything so easy and fun to understand for them and the tour was just the right length of time. Would 100% recommend.
The best way to make the most of your visit to the museum!

5.00Damiano is an excellent guide who offers fascinating insights into the must-see attractions at the British Museum. He encourages you to view these objects in a completely different way, helping you understand their historical context and cultural significance. His tours are a fantastic way to ensure you truly make the most of your visit.

5.00We were able to squeeze a couple of hours in at the British Museum on our first day in London, with Damiano our guide. We had a wonderful time!! He was incredibly knowledgeable and detailed, and very patient with our many questions. And a reminder to always book a great guide for stops like the British Museum: we may have walked right by the Reading Room off the main hall, but Damiano took us there first - a place Ghandi, Karl Marx, Virginia Wolf and scores of others spent time in over the decades. It was fascinating. We had a great time and wish we could have spent a few more hours in the Museum! Our thanks to Damiano for his terrific work and getting our mini vacation off to such a fun start.

5.00A visit to the museum is always an extraordinary experience. The guide made it even more interesting, especially for the children who were with us. Do it again!
Unbeatable Experience! Damiano is a Master Storyteller

5.00We booked a private tour with Damiano in November 2025, and it was easily the highlight of our trip to London. We were traveling with our two teenagers, and Damiano did a masterful job of keeping them engaged, curious, and entertained throughout the entire session. Even with some frustrating delays, Damiano handled the situation with total professionalism. He navigated the crowds seamlessly and managed to make up for the lost time, ensuring we didn't miss a single highlight. His knowledge is truly world-class. He doesn't just point at objects; he provides deep insights into the museum's key pieces and the history of the institution as a whole. His humor and unique perspective made the history feel accessible and incredibly valuable. If you are looking for an educational, high-touch, and fun experience for the whole family, book Damiano. You won't regret it!
Great private tour
