“Our first time using a guide for a tour so didn’t really know whet to expect. Had a brilliant time at the NHM. Our guide, Damiano, was fantastic. Took our ten year old son for the tour and Damiano was great within him. Knew exactly what highlights of the museum to see, where to stand, and was very informative. Teddy really enjoyed his day. Really good tour and glad we decided to try it.”

“Gavin was amazing!!!!!!!!! He met us at The Tower of London an hour after our tour started. We had unforeseen circumstances that caused us to be late. He made both tours very meaningful and full of intrigue and history. He made it fun for my 9 year old. She is still talking about his tours! She is a hard one to sale. When it was lunchtime he reserved a table at a restaurant so we could eat between tours. So kind and a d thoughtful! It was delicious pizza!!!!!!! I would definitely recommend him and when we come back do many more tours with him.”
