Our guide was an archeologist with such deep knowledge of the history of the sites we visited and the ancient culture. It could not have been a better experience.

Very well-organized tour and quite interesting. Serena was very nice and she gave us a lot of information regarding the sights. Also, super fast skip-the-line process without any hussle! Definitely recommended!
