    Gifted a guided tour to a friend of mine for Christmas. We really liked it. The gentleman who gave us the tour was very prepared and passionate! Too bad you can't get into the library just for a look. It's really a shame not to be able to access it as it is a precious asset that should be able to be even seen and known by those interested. Anyway it was a appreciated gift!

    Our guide was very sweet, but we had an hour long English tour booked and our guide spoke less English than I do Italian. Our tour of the Palace was less than twenty minutes and contained maybe four facts, the rest was just pointing at things. I actually have no idea what we saw or the context for any of it. Then we went outside and she just started showing us other things in the city which was nice, but not what we were looking for.
