The tour was good. Brief and sweet. If one is looking for a very detailed explanation on things and each and every sculpture etc then one must find something else. However for us, this was the perfect one and gave us time to do other things in the day. The tour guide was extremely sweet and very helpful. Would definitely recommend 😊
