We added a couple of optional activities beyond Macau Museum and don't regret it. Good value for what was included, and the food recommendations from our guide were spot on.

Booked this as a couple trip and it was well paced. Fortaleza do Monte in particular stood out. A couple of the transfers ran a little late but nothing that spoiled the trip.

House of Dancing Water show alone was worth the trip, but combined with House of Dancing Water show this itinerary really delivered. Breakfast at the hotel was good every day and the local guide was knowledgeable.
