This tour was good. The guides were friendly and knowledgeable but don’t expect the museum and walking tour to be together. We visited the museum first and then were told the walking tour would be later at 5 PM. Not ideal if you have plans later in the evening. We also did not get free gelato which was a bit disappointing but overall, my husband and I enjoyed the experience along with the highlights of the museum. The guide from the museum doesn’t really announce which way she is going or which direction she was heading in so make sure to stay with the group to avoid any confusion.
