GroupVerified bookingSep 20234/5WARNING, you are paying for the guide, the entrance is free and the queue is the same as everyone else. I say this because I thought you paid to enter and skip the queue but no. The guide was very good, the explanations were very good and we liked them very much. Even so the truth is that the guide was very good, the explanations were very good and we liked them a lot. It is true that it is expensive 22 € but without the guide the truth is that the visit would have been very different so we were very happy.MMaría A
