A must see!

it was a individual tour. We were able to go through the museum on our own. Pretty impressive museum. Certainly enjoyed the VR activity showing the life of Galileo. My adult son also enjoyed the museum probably more than me!

This was an enjoyable...

This was an enjoyable tour. The tour guide seemed knowledgeable about the first half of the museum, but seemed less knowledgeable about the second half. We had time afterwards to explore on our own, which was nice.

Galileo and Santa Croce, fascinating history

Giacomo was a very knowledgeable guide who presented a lot of information in an interesting and fun way. The museum was refreshingly less crowded than most we've visited. The visit to the church of Sant Croce was a fascinating end to the tour with a lot of great insight by Giacomio.

Galileo Museum Tour is Great

We really enjoyed our tour of the Galileo Museum. Fabio our guide was knowledgeable about Galileo and the other scientists that were featured in the museum. So not only did we see incredible scientific artifacts, we also got to learn the history and stories about these individuals. We were really glad we took this incredibly interesting tour.
