A fabulous tour, extremely well-organized, with an efficient and punctual pickup. Sahid, our tireless guide, definitely made all the difference. He accompanied us and guided us through the wonders of the museum with great passion, answering every question, explaining every detail with expertise, and revealing secrets and interesting facts with the keen eye of someone who loves his work and the fantastic history of this incredible ancient civilization. A+!

Well I thought I was booking a hotel but it turned out to be you selling an entry to the museum. Then I bought another thinking I was getting another night accommodation. Lol I found your ticketing was true and honest unlike all hecklers. They are like blowflies. I wish they would ban them from the big sites. Otherwise I achieved my goals. Thank you.
