Excellent
The tour was amazing and worth the money to get the best of the trip. The tour guide was brilliant with great knowledge and brings to life the ancient moments you are seeing. There are some many relics and ancient monuments to look at but the tour guide brough all of this to life. I would definitely recommend this tour to others.
