Good experience!

Great tour! Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. I wish we had more time at the museum. We had the late time (17:00), which didn’t allow for us to finish our tour or visit the gift shop due to closing. Beautiful museum! I would highly recommend.

Great tour

Our guide did a wonderful job of pointing out not only the most important links but also the medium in which each was completed. She was knowledgeable and shared this with the whole group effectively and interestingly.
