We can highly recommend this tour if you have limited time. Our guide, Alex was 5 minutes early and waiting for us right outside the hotel entrance. He was a delight. A History graduate with a gregarious nature he offered great advice on the best time to visit which sites taking into account traffic, the heat, and the visitor numbers at each site as the day progressed. He smartly attuned the level of detail provided to the types of questions we asked. The value we derived from this bespoke tour was absolutely worth the price paid.
