A very nice intermediarry person who gave us the tickets. The description of pick up place was very clear. She was perfect on time. She helped us with the installation of the audio guide. The only reason for the loss of 1 star was the quality of the audio guide. That wasn't the best quality. But overall a really Good experience

It was great. We could download the audio guides in advance and have them on our phones without having to rely on a network connection in an old building with thick walls.
