The whole experience was amazing. I'd recommend it for those on a tight deadline and for those travelling with reluctant teens. My son lived. The guides could do enough to educate us. And calm my nerves. Much better than walking.

Our tour was amazing. Our guide kept our teenagers entertained with mythological stories at every stop, and she paced the four hours to build in breaks for sitting or taking photos.

Probably could have booked things separately for a cheaper experience, but skipping the lines and having all the tickets was very convenient.

Alex was an amazing tour guide! He is so knowledgeable and his stories kept us all engaged. We highly recommend this tour with Alex!!

The PSL group was great, they were very friendly and helpful!
