5.00I cannot possibly recommend this tour more highly. Our guide, Matilda H, was spectacular. We had a large group, with a number of children, and Matilda kept every one of us wonderfully engaged - for the entire duration of the tour. Best tour I have ever gone on.

5.00Our guided tour was wonderful. Having a knowledgeable guide was essential as there is simply so much to see, and our guide, Jake, was excellent. He has an incredible knowledge of the museum, and explained their history of the museum, including its founding, changes, and controversies. He guided us through, and showed some of the most significant objects, and explained their creation and history to in great depth. This tour was very enjoyable and worth experiencing.

5.00The guide showed us very carefully and clearly. It was very interesting to see the different historical things. It was easy to understand that they were separated by country. It was friendly and fun.
