A knowledgeable and educational guide; as for the museum, it really needs to rethink its scenes, which are often dark and overly intellectualized...

I think our expectations were higher than what we actually experienced. Our guide was very knowledgeable and explained things very well, but we didn’t enjoy the museum’s exhibits. As for the service and the guide, they were punctual and very helpful.

A very positive experience, especially thanks to the highly knowledgeable and wonderful guide Ms. Margot, without whom we wouldn't have been able to participate due to a misunderstanding about the meeting. So, a special thank you to Ms. Margot.
