Mediocre tour. Guide had limited knowledge. He was reading the explanations which we could have done on our own (since they were in English too). Would have enjoyed it more doing on our own
Ivano was a wonderful guide. He brought all the history alive and was so knowledgeable. The private tour was really great, and the museum was so much less crowded than all the others but just as interesting. My 15yr old son really loved it. He loves science so this was right up his alley. So many interesting things --well worth the time and money spent. Thanks Ivano!
This was a great experience for my 15-y/o grandson and me. The tour helps connect contextual history to the displays, making the items even that more interesting to non-scientists. I would recommend this tour for several reasons -- tour guide was great and very enthusiastic and knowledgeable, it is not a lengthy tour (1.5 hours) which gave us time to do several other things on the same day, and the significance of the collection is important to our understanding of scientific development over the past several hundred years.
Good museum, app was a bit iffy, but appreciate it. I wish there was more information available. It is comprised of 2 main collections of objects. However, I think it was lacking enough fun facts/information. Good to see GALILEO’S middle finger .
