Great experience - Damiano is great. Very accommodating. Very knowledgeable. Tells a story through the paintings over time linking the artists stories through their art. Shows women artists as well. Only way to try and navigate this huge museum.

Great Experience - I had the pleasure of taking a private tour at the National Gallery in London with Stefania, and it was truly a fantastic experience. I usually don’t gravitate toward guided art tours, but Stefania’s passion and deep knowledge made all the difference. She brought the artwork to life, making it engaging and approachable, even for someone like me who isn’t an art enthusiast. The gallery itself is breathtaking—a masterpiece in its own right—but Stefania’s ability to tell the stories behind the paintings and answer all our questions made the visit even more memorable. I highly recommend booking a tour with her if you want to see the National Gallery in a whole new light!

Our National Gallery Experience - We had a great tour guide that knew so much of each of the art we saw in the 2 hour tour. It was really educational and we had a great time.

Personally adapted tour by expert guide - Great personally adapted tour of the main attractions of the National Gallery. Damiano is a great guide who based the tour on what we knew, what we didn’t know instead of giving what can be perceived as a standard oration. Obviously he was very knowledgeable in art history far beyond what is exhibited at this museum. He even sent us a long text message afterwards giving answer to a detailed question we had on a group of paintings that he could not answer straight away. Super professional!

A Fantastic Art Tour at the National Gallery with Damiano - Had an amazing solo art tour at the National Gallery with Damiano as my guide. He was super knowledgeable and made every painting feel alive with great insights and stories. His passion for art is contagious—highly recommend him if you're visiting!

Fascinating tour.... - Fascinating tour. Damiano's knowledge was deep and he brought to life so many aspects of the paintings that I would otherwise have missed. Highly recommended.

Best tour guide ever!! - Damiano was amazing! We learned so much from him and would hire him in an INSTANT to guide us again. He was knowledgeable, had great facts for us, extremely flexible and generous with his time. Ask for him by name, you will not regret it. He made this experience wonderful and we look forward to seeing him in the future. We had him for both the art gallery and the British history museums and we could have double booked him for each day and it would barely be enough.

ABOVE AND BEYOND EXPECTATIONS! - Tour was thorough and full of in depth information about highlighted paintings. I learned a lot! Showed very special attention to details- coat check and exhibition entrance assistance which was above and beyond! Thank you for a great experience! I wasn’t expecting those added benefits and was most appreciative!

Thank You - Our guide was so prepared, so personable. She immediately made the National Gallery more accessible for us. She was interactive in a way that allowed us to move through the collection focusing on points of personal interest and, perhaps more importantly, went on to introduce the type of history and details of unfamiliar works. Time went so quickly and we (even the teen and preteen) all shared in the sense we got so much more from the experience than we could relying on the galley map and postings. Absolutely recommend.

Amazing! Like an art history class. - Stefania was an amazing guide! First, she's Italian, so she's really passionate. She's also so knowledgeable. My wife had taken 2 art history courses in college but didn't learn some of things we learned from Stefanie. The way she goes through the museum and highlights the movement and pieces in chronological order really helped us to understand the artists' development over time. In all honesty, I would have been bored to explore this museum on my own, but with the fascinating context she provided, I loved it so much. Book Stefania today!
