CoupleVerified bookingMay 20265/5Short cab ride from the hotel to the factory Museum. I have trouble walking and the cab got close to the door for both drop off and for the return trip. I asked if they had a wheel chair to rent and they had one for free. I did not get the tickets printed or down loaded correctly and they were able to get everything fixed. It is a beautiful building with wonderful pieces of art, not just plates. If you are in town it is a must place to go.LLoye I
