Damiano was superb! - Damiano the Tour Guide was a delight! He was very knowledgeable and made the experience fun and interesting. I have mobility issues and he was extremely helpful, obtaining a wheelchair and getting me to the art.

Worth it! - This tour was 100% worth the price. Our tour Guide was Damiano and he was absolutely fantastic. Damiano was very very knowledgeable in the art pieces he showed us and not only gave us information on the piece, but the time period it was painted and the artist themselves. Without Damiano I think I would have missed out on seeing and understanding some really interesting pieces of art. By far the best tour Guide we had in London.

Super National Gallery tour - Super tour un italiano, bravissimo Damiano che ha saputo coinvolgere tutti e soprattutto i bambini (10,12 13 anni) rendendo l'esperienza indimenticabile! Cercavamo una guida che sapesse coinvolgere i bambini e farli appassionare all'arte ed è esattamente quello che è successo, grazie mille! Great tour with Damiano (Italian and English speaking guide) who was able to catch everyone attention (included 10-12-13 yo children), sharing with kids passion for art, and he fully succeded in, making an unforgettable experience for the whole family! Thank you!

Efficient way to learn about the great works - Damiano was outstanding. Great knowledge, great culture, and sense of humor. Wonderful way to see and enjoy the important works within the museum. If you want to get a bit more exposure to the museum, you might plan on morning tour, lunch and going back through to hit what might have been missed outside of the major works covered by the 2 hour tour.

Terrific Tour with Damiano - Terrific experience with our guide, Damiano. He curated the best exhibits and skillfully shepherded us through the immense galleries. His superb knowledge of the many masterpieces was fantastic and quite educational. Damiano’s wit was an extra bonus for me and my 18 year old son! After our tour we had a solid foundation for remaining at the Gallery for several more hours to continue our exploration. Well worth it. Highly recommend.

Best gallery visit ever with the perfect guide - Fantastic experience. My best visit to a gallery ever. Knowledgeable, attentive, friendly and humorous guide who selected an interesting collection of photos, making each stop an interesting experience in itself. Damiano was open to questions and comments, and made the whole trip feel like he was part of the group of friends who were on the trip. My friend booked the appointment with Damiano, and being guided by Damiano was the most positive surprise of the trip. I have already booked new tours with Damiano when I return to London with my family and am already looking forward to it.

Don't just see but understand the top paintings! - Four of us were arriving from different parts of the city but our guide was very patient waiting for us to straggle in at various times. Even with a shortened tour due to our own tardiness, Damiano made every effort to show us the key pieces in the Gallery. He was thorough and very knowledgeable. It was the perfect introduction to this wonderful museum.
