5.00We did the guided tour with Jose and it was an excellent experience. He arrived very punctual, was friendly at all times and masters perfectly the history of the museum and the meaning of his works. He explained every detail clearly and managed to keep the attention of the entire group. We were only five people, which made the experience even more personalized. It was really worth the cost paid. A unique visit that I definitely recommend.
