Good
Tour guide was extremely knowledgeable. However, there was so much information it was monotonous. Spent most of our time standing listening while all the other groups passed us on the way to the top. No beating any crowds. We got so bored we left the group and toured the museum on our own. Felt like I was studying for an Undergrad Degree in Anthropology.
