A highlight of our time in London

Outstanding tour. Damiano is a rare combination of encyclopedic knowledge of art and an engaging and entertaining personality. We learned a lot, saw some great art, and enjoyed every minute of it.

Excellent Guide!

I thoroughly enjoyed my time at the Gallery with my tour guide, Damiano. He had a wealth of knowledge that was meted out perfectly, not too much or too little. He made learning about the artists, paintings and history easy and fun.

fantastic 5 stars!

Truly incredible experience with Damiano. He was highly insightful, provided humor for my son, and the 2 hour tour was over before we knew it! We all learned so much about the paintings that I have a much greater appreciation for the period, history and talent of the artists. I would do it again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend.

Excellent Tour

Our tour guide was exceptional and made the most of our visit to The National Gallery. The tour was well organized, and our guide provided insightful commentary regarding the artists, their style, and the paintings. The tour operator was very accommodating in rescheduling our tour due to a flight delay.

Do Not Hesitate

What 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.
