Felt completely disappointed and lied to. There is no way tour operator did not know about biggest national holiday and museum closing ahead of time. In addition driver / tour guide had an issue with police because of car parking and left us in the middle of the tour to deal with his issue. Overall not worth the money and better just take a train and explore on your own.”
