Frequently asked

Is 6 hours enough for both museums?

Yes. The guide focuses on highlights and key works, covering each museum's most important pieces in depth rather than trying to see everything. The 6 hours include travel time between museums and a break. Most visitors find this thorough and satisfying.

How does semi-private differ from a standard group tour?

Semi-private means a smaller group than standard tours. The exact number varies but is typically under 10. The smaller size allows closer access to paintings, more personal guide interaction, and a quieter experience in crowded galleries.

Which museum is visited first?

Check the specific itinerary when booking. The guide manages the order based on opening times and crowd patterns to provide the best experience at both venues.
