The tour started with a delay..
The guide was running through the halls in the museums and didn't leave us enough time for viewing.
At some point it was difficult to follow her.

For a walking tour it was a little too long. Guide was extremely knowledgeable & very passionate.
We liked seeing everything but was way too long to be standing & walking

Our tour guide was very friendly and provided much info throughout the tour. We started late because one couple didnt come on time, and as a result we really rushed the whole tour, would like to have had more time to view especially the exhibition.

The guide was great. The things to see are awesome. The tour is absolutely the best way to see the 3 sites. But the crowds make you wish you had just stayed home.
