This is a great tour. I highly recommend it. I like taking guided tours because I always learn something new. But I didn't realise that you could learn so many fascinating and unexpected things on a guided tour of a picture gallery while looking at masterpieces by Rubens and Raphael,about things like the impact of GDP or climate change on what we see in the paintings of the old masters, stories of theft and forgery and the list goes on and on. This was an awesome tour. I have taken many tours around the world and I can tell you that this tour is an A++. Take it.
