Very enjoyable with outstanding tour guide - Our tour guide was excellent! She explained the pieces and the stories behind them. She also pointed out the intricacies behind the sculptures which helped us to understand how truly magnificent the works were. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour as sometimes the guided tours are not worth it. This one was definitely worth it and would recommend to others.
