    Travelled as a couple

    The overall experience was brilliant and we thoroughly enjoyed our day. Our archaeological guide was very knowledgable and made the day more meaningful. Three hours was the right amount of time with a guide.

    The woman checking us in was late. The guide was late. Despite being asked to arrive 15 minutes early other attendees were late ( no fault of the tour operator) pushing the start time back even longer. Stood around waiting for guide to acquire entrance tickets for the group. Guide was very good.
