Our guide Tim was not only knowledgeable but personable and really tailored the tour to our 10 year old daughter's interests which made for a special experience. We learned a great deal and enjoyed ourselves at the museum without feeling overwhelmed because of his expertise. Thank you, Tim, Trip Advisor, and Viator!
Thank you very much for taking the time to write such a lovely review. We’re so happy to hear that you had such a great time with Tim and that the whole family enjoyed an experience that was both educational and fun. Best regards
Alexandra was excellent in keeping interested and attentive for two hours of visit our two 6 years old girls. With her knowledge and experience she manage to find the right balance of captivating and well detailed scientific information with anecdotal stories and games. Highly recommended.
Our guide, Alexandra, was wonderful. It was a tour aimed at children and she was so engaging with my 10 year old granddaughter. Asked her questions, shared lots of fascinating information and made it fun for all of us!
Carol is wonderfully well prepared for the tour. The commentary started, right from the context of which the Museum was founded and also on the characteristics of the Blue terra-cotta used on the architecture. The brief descriptions of the set up of the exhibits were also given which, is extremely helpful for future visits. With 80 millions objects, Carol was able to pick out the most characteristics (not necessarily most ‘famous’) and those of particular interests of my 11 year old to show us in just under 3 hours. There was never a dull moment in the tour, and Carol was extremely patient in answering our questions, and answering them in details. We felt we have seen quite a lot but we were never rushed,. A perfect balance of learning and leisure was combined.
