“I’m giving all fives because the tour guide was super amazing and accommodating and I don’t want her to be penalized for the accessibility issues we had! The site says that the museum is handicap accessible and it is but not for all exhibits. This caused us to miss much of the museum and guided tour. But this was in no way the tour guides fault and she was exceptional and very patient!”

The Stade itself isn't one of the biggest or most advanced stadiums I have seen. So that was a bit of a let down. But Sam did his best to keep us engaged and took his time explaining everything in detail to us.”
