Our guide, Jett, was ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC! 2 hours felt like 2 minutes, we could have listened to him for hours. Honestly, most probably one of the best tours we ever had due to his knowledge and amazing way of passing it to us. Thank you, thank you!

Jett was an excellent tour guide. He is extremely knowledgeable, polite. He spent some extra time with us. My husband said it was the best museum tour he has ever had. I would have to agree that Jett did provide one of the best tours ever.
