Very enlightening…. Not too crowded. Our guide was fine. Tour inside was nicely paced and informative.
Not worth the money, get a free tour at the capital’s visitor center

Can save the money and do the capital and Library tour for free at the visitor center. That’s where the paid guide takes you anyway and the guide there provides it. Viator guide basically escorts you there, tells you a little about the capital and the Library. The tour is advertised as 4 hours and it was less than 3.
Great learning experience
