5.00We booked this as a semi-private tour but ended up being a private tour with a guide from the museum. They gave great directions on where to meet up. We had no problems at all. Our guide was Francesca who was very warm and friendly. She brought history to life. We highly recommend booking any tour with Boutique Tours.
Highly recommend this informative tour.
