We liked the check-out-the-place-yourself approach. We had plenty time to walk around the places at our own pace. Though we were given a digital virtual tour guide, I’d rate the tablet 1 star. It’s like listening to someone read out of a text book. Otherwise the day tour is great. I’d recommend it if you prefer a self-guided tour.

Definitely get this combo ticket as it’s cheaper than buying individual tickets for each place or queuing. Audio guide is ok if you have the time

Marisa was the best guide we could ever have asked for! Very informative tour, highly recommend it

Brilliant to find about all the gods and what things the got up to !
