Excellent tour - A really well organized tour with our guide Stefania who accompanied us on an art journey through the centuries in which we learned the techniques of many painters. We especially appreciated the "behind the scenes" and the hidden details of the paintings. The children were also very curious and asked many questions. Compliments!

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.
