    Our guide Victor was amazing. Really great information and he did everything he could to make it a pleasant and informative experience. Sadly, the cruise ships brought so many people that it was almost impossible to enjoy the experience, let alone get up to the top among the crowds. Not sure I can recommend visiting in the morning. Go only in a month when it isn't too hot to go after the cruise ships have left.

    It was very crowded. The information provided was good, but tour guide was long winded. I would probably op to go without a guide next time and just research it on my own before going. We bought "skip the line" tickets, but they did not work and we ended up at the end of the line to get in, which was fine.. but don't advertise the ticket as such.
