The guide was very enthusiastic and told us many details about the building. The meeting point was rather chaotic. Too many tourists not knowing where to go. I wish there were a fast lane for people with guided tours.
Yavor Dimitrov - Bulgaria
Were very happy with the tour and especially the guide who was very knowledgeable and with some great sense of humor.

We were asked to change from Saturday to Monday due to high number of ppl (40) in the group. It was a good decision. Monday we could join a smaller group (20) and queue was smaller. Buse was our guide and she gave a great tour. She repeated if ppl could not hear and gave extra details for those that wanted to know more. Super patient and friendly! For a group tour, this was great value for money.
