Easy to book. The guide was very friendly and extremely knowledgeable. There were some young children in the group and she often asked them questions and engaged them. She showed us the most important things and we didn't stay too long when looking at each item. We had been on an earlier tour that day, which was with another company. That tour ran over the advertised time considerably, so we almost missed this one.

Yes, the guide was very knowledgeable. She kept the group together and attentive. Too bad the amount of people, you can't appreciate the museum and it's claustrophobic to be there.
