    Great tour with Alfonso! He showed us interesting details that we would have definitely missed without him. The tour was 90min which gave us ample amount of time to spend the rest of the day as a family in this fascinating place! We will be back

    The tour was very comprehensive (it didn't cover but we knew the amphitheatre). Our guide, Pablo, was always naking sure we were all OK with everything.
