This museum is one of the best we have ever visited. We booked a private tour, which we recommend for anyone wanting the best experience. The museum is very large and so many things to see and learn about. Our guide Elvira was very good, knowledgeable and informative and made the experience even better. She could answer all of our questions and gave us very good insight of the history.

our host Monika was so welcoming and friendly, made us feel at home and relaxed from the second we arrived. Monika was very experienced about all the different vodkas we tasted and answered any questions we had, we also had a good tasty selection of snacks.

Good guide (zezar) who told us everything possible about the city! Learned very interesting little things that you would never have noticed otherwise
