- AA. B.The guide was an archeologist and she explained everything with passion and knowledge. Great experience!
- GG. G.Tour guide was very informative and ensured we kept to the shade. Was very attentive and helpful when a member of the party injured themselves. I am ensure of our tour guides name but we were on the 11am tour on July 16th 2024. Would highly recommend if you would like a lot of good information with pictures included and good photography spots.
- MM. C.Our guide was very knowledgeable and spoke great English. The meeting point was a little confusing to get to, so leave extra time. Beautiful amazing site to see.
