Awesome! - Our guide was amazing! She not only provided us with great information about each piece of art, she took time to teach us the perspective of examining each piece. I didn’t want this tour to end.

Great tour - Well organized small tour. Our guide ( Martina) was very knowledgeable about the history of the gallery and the "politics" of the time. She pointed out aspects of the sculptures and beautiful paintings that made them unique. There was also extra time for us to look around at our leisure at the conclusion of the tour.

If you have to wear headphones…forget about it. - The guide was very knowledgeable. The headphones were awful and half the time I could only understand her if I pulled them off. So I missed a lot.
