What people are saying about Zappio District

Overall rating

4.4 / 5

based on 7,541 reviews

We liked the check-out-the-place-yourself approach. We had plenty time to walk around the places at our own pace. Though we were given a digital virtual tour guide, I’d rate the tablet 1 star. It’s like listening to someone read out of a text book. Otherwise the day tour is great. I’d recommend it if you prefer a self-guided tour.

Definitely get this combo ticket as it’s cheaper than buying individual tickets for each place or queuing. Audio guide is ok if you have the time

Easy to use bikes and made seeing lots of the city very easy and accessible to us! Lovely hosts too

Honestly always get there early to avoid any crowds. It was honestly worth the price. Loved it !

Brilliant to find about all the gods and what things the got up to !
