Pleasant, entertaining, obviously there is not enough time to see everything, neither in one visit nor in 20, but it is an experience that I would repeat, the guide was very attentive, I add that I went with my little daughter (the only one) and made it easier for her, made her participate, very happy with the experience Opinion translated.

Con respecto a la guía que nos acompaño todo fue muy bien, solo un punto negativo la comunicación del guía con el grupo era pésima creo que debido a los aparatitos y el auricular que se nos entregaron la mitad de las explicaciones eran entrecortadas y de muy mala calidad. Y solo decir que para mi el mejor horario de visita a un museo es a primera hora. Translate this opinion into English.

Regarding the guide who accompanied us, everything went very well. The only negative point was that the guide's communication with the group was terrible. I think that due to the gadgets and the headset that they gave us, half of the explanations were choppy and of very poor quality. And I can only say that for me the best time to visit a museum is first thing in the morning. Opinion translated. Show original.

Visita muy amena por parte de nuestra guia Ana . Os la recomiendo sin lugar a dudas,dos horas de curiosidades que se hicieron cortas. Lo único que civitatis puso hora de encuentro a las 16:00h y parece que hay un error,ya que la visita empezaba a las 16:30h. Translate this opinion into English.

Very enjoyable visit by our guide Ana. I recommend it without a doubt, two hours of curiosities that seemed short. The only thing is that Civitatis put the meeting time at 4:00 p.m. and it seems that there is a mistake, since the visit started at 4:30 p.m. Opinion translated. Show original.
