our guide Ingrid had so many stories and the audio commentary up on the top floor was the highlight, and miles ahead of a similar visit we tried in Kyoto.

our guide Giulia had so many stories and skipping the massive queue out front was the highlight, and miles ahead of a similar visit we tried in Porto, no joke

Amani our guide very good, and the audio commentary up on the top floor we love it. Is much better than the visit we do in Dubrovnik before. We are very happy, recommend to all!
