We were in terrific hands...

Keith_W, Jun 2026
We were in terrific hands with Damiano!! From the beginning he gave us excellent communication about our upcoming tour. During the tour, we were amazed with his mastery of detail about natural history, and he fully entertained and educated all of us throughout. Highly recommend!

Overwhelming crowd, underwhelming tour

First, I’d never return to that museum on a weekend. Capacity should be capped at about 75% of what was there. The guide was nice, but the tour content was remedial. People nowadays get that birds are dinosaurs, let’s move on.

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Dear Guest, Thank you for your feedback. We completely understand how busy the Natural History Museum can feel, especially on weekends and during peak periods. Visitor numbers and capacity are managed entirely by the museum, and this can vary significantly depending on the day. That said, one of the key advantages of booking a private guided tour with pre-booked tickets is the ability to skip the entry lines and make the most of your time inside, even when the museum is particularly busy. Our guides are there to help guests navigate the space efficiently and focus on the most interesting highlights. Regarding the content, our tours are designed to be engaging, clear, and accessible to a wide range of visitors, including families and younger guests, ensuring an enjoyable and informative experience for everyone. We appreciate your comments and remain committed to providing a well-organised and high-quality visit for all our guests. Kind regards, Damiano DS Tours London

Guided Tour of NHM

Parwinder_S, Nov 2024
Very well presented to both a very young and older children. We went as a two families, 4 adults, and children aged 17, 16, 16, 13 and 4.

It was worth it!

Samira_B, Oct 2024
We had a great time with Damiano as our tour guide! He put in a lot of effort and clearly had extensive knowledge of the exhibits, which made for an informative experience. Our three teenage kids learned something new and agreed that having a guide was worth it, especially with so much to see. Overall, we really enjoyed the tour and appreciated Damiano’s enthusiasm and expertise!

Great experience

Bethany_S, Dec 2023
Damiano was an incredible tour guide! We loved our experience and would definitely do it again. So easy and better than just going to museum ourselves

Great experience!

Marianna_V, Dec 2023
