Her humor and added tips of the history behind the museum was incredibly, keeping you focused on every word she was saying! Highly recommend this activity.

Informative & well planned tour. As expected, the place is super crowded. But our guide David was well prepared and ensured to find a spot and explain the details to us. Apt time given in key locations. He was patient to querries and handled group well. Recommended.

Wir haben eigentlich für 6 Personen gebucht, mussten dann leider aus Krankheitsgründen 2Führungen absagen. Sehr verständnisvolle und rasche Hilfe bei dieser Änderung. Wir wurden genau informiert, wo der Treffpunkt ist, was beachtet werden muss, … Die Führung war nicht nur professionell, sondern sie begeisterte uns alle durch ihre leidenschaftliche Art geschichtliche Informationen weiterzugeben. In Zukunft Städte nur noch mit GETYOURGUIDE!!!
