5.00What an outstanding visit thanks to Joe. The museum is overwhelming with so many artifacts to see. But Joe showed us the highlights and his commentary and understanding of history was fabulous. He effortlessly moved us through the exhibits and in spite of the crowds, we were able to get up close and personal with all we wanted to see thanks to his excellent timing and familiarity with the museum. Highly recommend hiring Joe and promise you won’t be disappointed.

5.00I am fascinated by art and history and how they tell us about our human beliefs, actions, satisfactions, griefs and triumphs. My guide, D, was well versed and an excellent story teller who brought the subjects and meaning of the paintings to life for me.

5.00I had made two bookings to visit the National Gallery in Dec 25. Our guide, Stefania, was an excellent guide. She was educational and informative. She pointed out the key points in the masterpieces - many details which are important to understand the masterpiece. I would highly recommend a private tour with Stefania.
Outstanding

5.00Amazing experience with Damiano - wonderful afternoon with a very knowledgable tour guide. He pitched his tour just right for my teenage girls, we feel much more knowledgable that we did before. There is no way we would have had learnt so much without this tour. Thank you ! Would recommend in a heart beat.

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!
