“The meeting point for the tour caused a lot of confusion as it does not start at the museum itself, it’s a little further along the road. Once this had been resolved, it was absolutely great. The guide was very knowledgable and took time to provide a lot of information to us. You are also allowed to carry on walking around the museum once the tour is over. I would recommend taking your own (plug in) headphones as the ones provided hurt our ears but this was a very minor issue!”
