"Overall very good, thank you for sharing the arts story so beautifully. I had cried multiple times through this tour. Without your beautiful narrative I would have felt lost. It would be nice to have a timeline of what we had already listened to, as well what is to come. At one point we did get a little confused and lost. However we quickly bounced back with the help of a map. Thank you. " - Claire A.

It allowed you to see things that most of the people in this museum are walking by Leonardo da Vinci stuff and other artist that you were just not normally pay attention to who is amazing. There’s so much here. I suggest if you come to the Love, this late walk is what you should use"
