3.00This was a good tour. Bring you own plug in earpiece if you have them but not necessary. The reason for the 2 star deduction was price. The same tickets are available at the museum for half the price we paid.

4.00The museum is very interesting, only towards the end of the tour there is no audio guide, but the showcases are signposted. Headphones must be brought, these must have a jack plug (no USB). But the audio guide can also be used without headphones, which is not so practical.

5.00Booking tickets on Viator, you can access the Museum directly WITHOUT going through the ticket office (usually with long lines). Super recommended!
The entrance

5.00It is a very pleasant visit, apart from the entrance: a dark and narrow corridor, where it does not move and we are many waiting. I didn't understand the necessity of doing this path.
