My guide was kind and shows domain of the history. Because we were small group have the experience of secret passages. Really more than I expected.

The guide should’ve stop in every room for everyone to admire and do some pictures and should’ve wait for everyone to be there when she started explaining. But she didn’t do all that and she didn’t speak loud we could barely hear her . But the museum itself was amazing.
