“Amazing and very informative”
Our tour was amazing. Getting to see a part of history with a guided tour was something I highly recommend

Indeed Carrie, I also believe that visiting this musuem without any guide makes you miss so many important and fun facts. It was a pleasure for me to have you. Take care.
