5.00Damiano is an amazing tour guide with encyclopedic knowledge about the many kinds of paintings in the National Gallery. The great thing about Damiano, however, is the fact that he’s conversational about the pieces in a way that makes you want to know more. He also has these fun facts that are surprising and sometimes funny. He makes you want to go home and read more about the art you saw! He made our vacation extra memorable!
Excellent!

5.00We as a family with two children (9 and 14 years) had an excellent tour of the National Gallery with Damiano! He explained great pictures and backgrounds to us with a lot of enthusiasm and knowledge and was able to inspire our two children for this museum visit with his sensitive, calm and funny narrative. A clear recommendation and thanks for the great experience!

5.00There is nothing better than a private tour , with a knowledgeable professional like Stefania, when you visit a fabulous museum like the National Gallery in London. Her insights gave so much more meaning to the artwork, resulting in increased appreciation for the artist's work. Really enjoyed my time with her and would absolutely do again, because her knowledge base made the experience that much richer.

5.00Damiano has been great in providing this 2h tour. He gave us a very personalised experience. I explained to him it would have been my sister and her niece with me on the tour and he adapted all the stories and explanations to make this visit enjoyable for a 10 year old child. Everything was really super interesting for both my niece and us adults. The tour was memorable, light and easy to follow. Many tricks and little quizzes to make this fun and get the knowledge to stick. 10/10. Definitely would recommend and thinking about the next experience in another museum with Damiano.
Fun and very insightful

5.00Great tour about the best known paintings/artists. Damiano was a spectacular guide and very engaging. We now have an eye for the details of the paintings and history of the painters. My teens 16 and 18 were impressed as well. I would absolutely recommend if you want to get the most out of your visit to the National Gallery.
