Great tour - A beautiful gallery, full of art and sculpture. Our tour guide was excellent. Fredrick is a history major and knew the art history too.

Excellent Guide - Valintina taught me the history of art. Without her guidance I would not have enjoyed the museum. She was extremely knowledgeable and enjoyed teaching us.. In addition, two south Koreans spoke little English. It just worked out as the slowness enabled me to absorb much more of the history vs looking at more paintining and sculptures.

Small groups are great! - A great guide with just two interested tourists. With just the three of us we could avoid rooms with too many people in them, and then return to them when the room was almost empty.

Enlightening experience - I confirm the visit was wonderful with Agnes. I had a most enlightening experience with the collection and the house. I am grateful for this opportunity.

Centuries squeezed in hours - I appreciate Agnes work very much. It is an excellently managed time, choreography of the tour and, of course, stories of the masterpieces, masters and their fates. I did not notice how the time was went to an end but it was full two hours. I trust all tourist should feel lucky are with guides such as Agnes.

Rome highlight for us - Had a fantastic tour with Matthieu (? Spelling). A group of 4 including me and my daughter. He made each piece of art come alive through explaining its history (and the artists) so you could feel the emotion. No dry recitation of dates and names. Probably the best art history tour I’ve ever been on. Took the entire two hours and never checked my watch. Totally worth the money. Obviously you don’t see everything but that’s not the point. It’s your learn in greater detail about highlights and to me that was better than a fast paced run through everything

Very good tour of the museum - Small group tour was quite enjoyable. Feels like two hours that the museum allows per entry is not enough to see everything we wanted to see. Our guide did a very good job discussing the sculptures and key paintings. Would definitely recommend this tour to friends and family.

The success of this tour... - The success of this tour depends on the tour guide. Our guide seemed to be so distracted. They were on their phone whenever we were walking to the next piece of art, seems shocked that we didn't know all the artists they were talking about, and spent so much time on some artists but ignored other artwork. Stressed that we couldn't go back to see the art again once we left a gallery. I was so psyched to go to this museum from friends who had raved about it, but was disappointed due to the tour guide.
