We misunderstood that the tour was strictly a walking tour. My mother is 77 so we were a bit concerned. Our guide, Nikos, was amazing! He was so accommodating and made the experience so wonderful for all of us. He’s very knowledgeable and we leaned so much. In addition, he is so caring and kind. The company was also wonderful and got us a driver for a short scenic tour. Would definitely advise to book this tour!

The audio was great - very detailed and brought the tour to life, far more than if we’d just looked round ourselves. Easy to download and use - we were really impressed and well worth the spend.

The palace was beautiful, Some parts were closed, but there was enough to see. Great place and a must see

Very nice discovery: to visit! Audio guide very well done: complete and accessible I recommend

Very good tour, very interesting and easy to follow!
