our guide Amani really knew their stuff and the little side gallery most people miss was the highlight, and good as a half-day option, and skipped a 45 min queue, no joke

our guide Sofia couldnt do enough for us and the audio commentary up on the top floor was the highlight. Over easter break so it wasnt too busy. Perfect for first-timers, and valid the whole day, and used it for our summer trip. Would book again no question.
