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.

Excellent tour with Damiano. He was extremely knowledgeable and did an amazing job engaging our kids ages 9 and 11. He really helped us get the most out of our visit. It’s a must to help navigate the vast museum and learn much more than we would have without a guide. He was one of the best guides we have had.

The guide was very knowledgeable and accommodating. Very nice personality. Our guide extended our tour to 1 o’clock as the security line to get into the British Museum was an hour and 15 minutes long. So we had a late start.

Great tour of the most important pieces of the British museum. Damiano was a great guide. He was very knowledgeable and was great at keeping our 12 yr old engaged and interested.

Great tour! Damiano was our guide and contacted us the day before with our tickets and instructions on where to meet. He was friendly, interactive, and selected some highlights of the museum to make the most of our time and gave us detailed information about each one. With a knowledgeable guide the exhibits are like windows in time and if we returned I would book with Damiano again. Our tour was two hours but you could spend all day at the museum, so I would recommend leaving some time in your itinerary after the tour to revisit areas of interest and explore new ones. There are eateries on site and in the courtyard so you can take a break for refreshment if you’re staying longer. Enjoy!

Very crowded in this museum and it is huge. Our guide was very good and entertaining. We would have never seen the Rosetta Stone without him.
