We went the first week in April (off-season). I will agree with everyone that it is somewhat difficult to get things arranged to go on the tour, but it's not because they are not friendly or are diabolical or anything like that, they just seem a bit clueless about the most efficient way to run a business!

I visited the museum last week with a school group. On arrival we were shown into a small courtyard, and made to wait until our guard arrived. On the stroke of 12, Anna our guide arrived, dressed in full Soviet uniform. She had an excellent tone in addressing the group - somewhat distant, but not intimidating - playing the role... More
