The museum is very cool and the price was OK. 2 things you need to know: Bring your own ear buds. Ypu are also required to download an app which could cause issues.. audio not required youcan read the plaques in the museum
Perfect staff and super welcoming
It was wonderful, we really loved and it was easy to book. Within few minutes we got inside thanks to the guys who helped us.
Museum was great, but the booking agent texted us day before. Stated it was “super busy” and that we had to move our reservation 4 hours later. With no appreciation for our time or schedule. Viator refused to refund, even partially. Great museum to visit, just do not book through Viator.
Good. Tickets were easy to find and easy to get in. We were a little late and the guide waited for us and made sure we got in
Make sure to show up early. The line can get really long. When we arrived they moved our ticket up 15 minutes earlier which was nice.
You only enter the museum to see The DAVID...............................................................
The spot you go go is very nearby. Just read the instructions on your ticket. It was crowded but no long line, and we were even able to get in early bc we arrived early.
Tour was overall okay as it’s a self conducted tour, we were party of four and were provided tickets with two time slots which caused a lot of confusion around which line to stand as there is a always a big queue at the gates split against time printed on tickets. Operator could give us all in the booked time slot instead of splitting. Regarding the museum station of David is great but rest of the items are not that great as compared to David.
The only reason to purchase these tickets is to be able to skip the lline, which is why we bought them. However, the address was wrong for the meeting point and the map was wrong. It was confusing and annoying, especially with limited cell phone and Wi-Fi in the area. Even the workers at the Academia said it was confusing and misleading. Finally, in the notes section we were able to identify another address where we were advised to look for a blue flag. When we arrived at the address, no one was holding a blue flag. It all seems trivial, but it wasted 30 minutes of our time and since this is the only service they provided, it is all I have to rate them on. Other than that, they acknowledged the error on the listing and will hopefully correct it.
