The guide through the museum was a student who led us through the enormous crowds of visitors with vision and great expertise. She showed and explained important works to us in a good, competent and professional manner.

I really liked not having to deal with the ticketing, our guide handled all of that with the museum. Our guide, Kawiheh, was really great, and his English commentary was exceptional. He explained things about the paintings that I would never have noticed or appreciated. While we did not see every single thing in the museum, I feel like I got an excellent summary in the 2 hours of the tour. Everything was well organized and efficient. I would recommend this tour to anyone.

The guide was knowledgable, entertaining and a good story teller. He would inform us facts and then ask us later when it became relevant. A very enjoyable experience.
