I found the tour guide enthusiastic which kept me interested and the time flew by. He was a good communicator. I've heard stories about the pieces before, but his stories seemed authentic and well researched. Recommend
Thank you so much for your kinds words, it means a great deal.
Don’t hesitate to book this tour- it’s great. Rossa is an energetic storyteller who brings centuries old artifacts to life with the stories of their conception as well as their significance over time. He has in depth knowledge- you can tell he is well read- yet he keeps it interesting for the layman. Our only regret is that we couldn’t fit his longer tour in our schedule.
Thank you so much. I'll catch you on the longer tour next time.
Very informative tour covering many fascinating artifacts. Appreciate the accommodation for a solo attendee. Highly recommend!
Thank you, it was great meeting you.
