Memorable Tour Worth it

We were a family of 4 Skip the line is super helpful or else you will be in general line that wraps around the building and can take hours Our guide Sarah was an archeology major who gave us details on all important aspects Highly recommend or else you will miss to understand the history behind what you are seeing I would highly recommend this tour operator
