We didn't realize that there would be a long wait to go through security so we were late and our guide was patient about that. The other couple was late as well. Maybe let attendees know ahead of time that the security line can be slow and to show up 20 minutes early. Our guide was pleasant enough but appeared unprepared for the tour. She had difficulty coming up with fairly simple English words and didn't seen as familiar with the museum as one would expect. If your customers prefer the guide speak in english, maybe you should hire a native speaker.Leond
