Informative and comfortable - Our guide Daniel did a great job. We got to visit some highlights of the museum as he guided us through the crowds. He gave a lot of great information as he waited for us to look more closely or take photos. He spoke clearly and answered our questions with understanding and tact. We really enjoyed the tour!

​Kind guide, but the content could be more engaging - Our guide was very polite and took good care of the group throughout the museum. He clearly knew his way around, but I found the delivery of information a bit dry and plain. I was hoping for more storytelling or deeper insights that might go beyond what you might find in a standard audio guide. ​Also, I felt a bit pressured when asked to leave a 5-star review right in front of him. I believe honest feedback is important for other travelers, so I’m sharing my genuine experience. It was a decent tour, but I hope the guide can work on making the content more captivating and informative for future guests.
