Super visit, made very interesting by our guide "Saïd" who knew how to captivate us with a lot of annecdote and explanations on these old stones loaded with history, and as we were only 2 couples (French) for this visit we could fully enjoy our visit, even my companion who does not like this kind of activity too much found it very interesting thanks to our guide. Thank you Saïd

The guide who showed us around did a fantastic job. He showed us the best and most beautiful spots of each monument. He showed a lot of interaction with the audience. He even helped take the pictures; afterwards, he helped me and my friends get a bite to eat nearby. Top experience! As a result, he received a tip from us that was more than deserved!
