Antonio was an excellent guide. He was so incredibly knowledgeable and made us all feel welcome. U will start with a museum tour to familiarize itself with the story of the tombs, then take a bus ride to the tombs, which was amazing. Tombs r a little chilly since it’s underground After the tombs u will get back on the bus and visit a church. During the bus ride our guide pointed out all the sites and gave us background info, which made the ride most enjoyable. Hopefully ur lucky to get Antonio as ur guide
