The visit, explained
Is this the right tour for you?
Why choose it
Choose this when an afternoon museum visit fits a compact sightseeing schedule.
What to weigh up
The booking is non-refundable and the listed group can reach fifteen, so it does not meet a twelve-person small-group threshold. Afternoon timing is not evidence of empty galleries or exclusive after-hours access.
