Superb experience! Staff was great and made us all laugh. The sunrise was breathtaking. Only issue was the van on the way back—old and crowded. Still, would do it again.

Family trip with 2 teens and even THEY loved it. Guide handed out frozen towels at one point, which saved us (was 42°C that day). Kids got to crawl into a tomb (not for the claustro types). Lunch by the river was coool and surprisingly chill. Would do again but maybe not in September heat!
