Our guide was delightful and had lots of info but he gave us an audio to follow and then would frequently cut in. We weren't always sure where to go or how to find him. Most people just wandered around on their own.

A wonderfully informative tour by our guide Mary, who was incredibly knowledgeable, made all the difference to our visit. Thanks to Mary we came away with a much greater understanding and appreciation of all we saw.

We did the tour but couldn't hear the guide. Between the crowds and every third and word cutting out we gave up and enjoyed the museum by ourselves

Our guide, Olga, was great and gave wonderful information. Having the skip the line tour made negotiating the queues much easier and with less stress. The Headout app made getting tickets easy.
