Yulia_B, May 2022

Everything correct. The museum is great, although not too big. There is an audio guide in the museum and the company provides city audio guides. That’s the first time we have tried and it’s good as an idea!

Suzie was outstanding! She was prompt, pleasant, knowledgeable, and a whole lot of fun! She is not a clock-watcher; we finished when we were finished. You know you have a great guide when you share coffee and pastries along the way. Suzie is proud of her city, and it shows!
