Annalise our tour guide was very informative and easy to understand. We enjoyed our tour and encourage others to give themselves a few good hours for this site - as there is much to see and explore.

What a total joke this was. We arrived at the destination to meet the group about 20 mins before the tour start only to the be told that we nees to go to another entrance. We tried 3 entrances and then we were too late. We lost over £100 and had to purchase another 2 tickets. Have you tried complaining to La Vacanza Travel. If not, good luck! I have booked many tours with La Vacanza Travel but never again!

Updates were very helpful to get us there on time and with good GPS directions. ASKOS Tours was very clearly marked and gave us a friendly reception. Our guide, Michael, was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. Even when people were late, he graciously welcomed them to the group, got their headsets set up and immediately got back on track with his presentation without missing a beat. Throughout the tour his passion and expertise was evident. We ran a bit late but only because he was so thorough and answered questions everyone had. It was an amazing experience from start to finish.
