What to expect
Your guide meets you at an agreed point and leads you through the museum's main galleries, focusing on masterpieces rather than exhaustive coverage. Expect to walk at a steady pace through crowded rooms, particularly near famous paintings. Some galleries enforce quiet; your guide will brief you beforehand. Security queues can form, so punctuality matters. The guide provides context on each major work, helping you understand technique and historical significance. You'll finish with a genuine appreciation of the collection rather than sore feet and blank memories.
