A deep and rewarding dive into the lives of the Pharaohs
Susanna gave us one of the best guided tours we have ever experienced. She was deeply knowledgeable, engaging, and brought the exhibits to life. This is a big museum with a huge collection, and having a guide like Susanna who can curate a fascinating and entertaining voyage through history is worth many times the cost of admission. Her tour was one of the highlights of our trip to Italy.
