5.00I really enjoyed the walk and the company of Kulsanam, our guide. She was very knowledgable and patient, always trying to keep the group together like a mother hen but allowing plenty of time for photos. I joined the group at 15:00, which was great because it was getting dark for our last stop - the necropolis - which is beautifully lit up in the evening.
