Lilly and Alex were incredible. The tour was lovely and we were told myths and saw a spectacular sunset at the temple. This experience is something that is priceless. As a solo travelling female I definitely recommend this aswell :) Thank you for the memories!

Skips the buying ticket line, but there was still a line for entry. We did not see a special entrance for people who had skip the line. If there is such an entrance, would be good for Experience instructions to give specific details. Audio tour which you download to your phone was good. Worth the money.
