We had the most wonderful tour guide, very knowledgeable ,educational friendly kind, caring and considerate. It was a bit raining and the line was very long to go into the museum. My sister was from Boston and she was leaving early the next morning so we had to skip the museum. Thank you, Barbara Boyd
