Amazing!

Our guide Ibrahim was excellent, informative and with a very dry sense of humour. We learnt a lot about the history in a very short time with him.

Engan was a brilliant guide. Very knowledgeable and answered all our questions. Also with the guide we got to skip the large queues which was a bonus.

Amazing!

Highly recommend the Basicilia tour. The lines do get long so skipping ahead is worth it. There is history information before you are free to roam the center

Amazing!

The meeting place was easy to find. Our guide gave us an overview/history and then let us enjoy it on our own. It was a lovely place and so glad that we didn't miss it.

Amazing!

It was great to “skip the line” to get into the cistern. The guide gave us information and history, then let us wander the place on our own. It was great to be able to go through at our own pace. Very interesting and amazing architecture.

Amazing!

Good info. Really nice being able to skip the lengthy line. Guide provided good info, but it was difficult to hear her. Maybe providing mics and headsets would be better.
