Siamo stati contenti della guida. Ha spiegato tutto-la storia, i capolavori d'arte-bene in inglese. We were very happy with the knowledgeable guide. He explained the artworks and history very well in English.Sergiu

Guys, 4:15 PM is the best time to visit the museum. The guide is awesome, skip-the-line is a life saver and you'll see pretty much all the gems you have to! If you're not into Roman Empire and Renaissance just save the money for the aperitivo and the pasta!
