I found the tour guide enthusiastic which kept me interested and the time flew by. He was a good communicator. I've heard stories about the pieces before, but his stories seemed authentic and well researched. Recommend

Don’t hesitate to book this tour- it’s great. Rossa is an energetic storyteller who brings centuries old artifacts to life with the stories of their conception as well as their significance over time. He has in depth knowledge- you can tell he is well read- yet he keeps it interesting for the layman. Our only regret is that we couldn’t fit his longer tour in our schedule.
