5.00We had a wonderful tour with Diana. She was very knowledgeable and informative. She also shared some photos with us regarding the fire on her iPad which was very interesting. Diana was warm, enthusiastic, and extremely friendly. I would recommend her tour to everyone.
Very costly for pretty ordinary information.

2.00The tour was advertised as interior and exterior and was supposed to last three hours. Except for some of the sculpture in the entry there was little else about the exterior. The interior was covered with the details about the fire and recovery. But the guide was following a script that could have been replaced with an audio tour. It was definitely not worth $90/pp and only lasted a little over an hour rather than 3.
It was a very good experience.
