A must see! - The museum was fabulous and a true must see. Since it is a rather large museum we opted for a private guide, which I highly recommend! Our guide Alex was very knowledgeable and personable! He was a top 10 guide for sure! I would recommend requesting him.

Wonderful guided tour - Andi was a wonderful guide and pointed out many great artifacts but also gave us time to explore. While I enjoy exploring a museum, it's also nice to have an expert to ask questions and highlight items.
