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.
