It was a pity not to be able to enter on the 8th because it exceeded capacity. This upset all our plans and left us unable to adapt to the rest of the group so we could not visit other museums. The attention received by the company Luna Travel was especially good and in the end we were very satisfied.

Arranged tickets and transfers (hotel to GEM and return) via Headout. The process was seemless and simple. Spent a few hours wandering the GEM at our own pace. Messaged the driver 30 minutes before return pick up. Enjoyed a coffee whilst we waited.

Impressive, grandissimo ... a wonder, 3h is little to enjoy everything without stress ... good thing we went for free and almost 6h to see it as it should ...
