Great tour!

5.00We had a great tour with Micheal!! He was very informative, considerate of the heat and answered our questions. Great addition that the tour guide wears a microphone and each person gets an amplifier for their ear. Was super helpful with all the crowds to ensure you could hear!! We loved the tour! We booked last minute and did not realize that there are only a limited number of times tickets and that you need a specific timed entry for the tour. That would have been helpful to know ahead of time. We were able to go early to the ticket booth, wait in line and luckily get tickets for that timed entry, otherwise we would have missed part of our tour. That was a little confusing to us. It would have been nice to have the company take care of for you and you just pay the ticket fee to them. We also ended booking the wrong ticket to a garden and had to end the tour early. Was a bummer because we were loving our info from Micheal!!
awesome tour

5.00We did the tour with our 14 year old and 18 year old sons and it was excellent. It was not just a typical tour but our our tour guide Helen was so knowledgeable about the mythology and stories that brought each detail of the ruins to life that you can imagine how a different society existed thousands of years ago. She was also thoughtful in finding shaded spots where we could sit while she explained things and ensured that we were safe and comfortable throughout the day. I would recommend this tour without a doubt as it excelled our expectations.
Very good! The guide was...
