More impressive in person than the photos. Photo spots were thoughtfully spaced along the route, we’d echo the hype online.

Great value versus buying tickets separately. Plenty of time to explore afterward, worth blocking a half-day for. (Weekday visit lined up neatly with transit.)

Helpful crew and clear instructions. Transitions between rooms or stops felt purposeful, matching what friends told us—but better in person.
