The tour is definitely not worth the money. Some factors: - the 2nd day of the tour finished only until 4pm - the 3rd day, there was a poor communication between the tour guides leaving some passengers left out from the next afternoon tour - the tour guide himself was not satisfactory at all. During those 2 days, apparently he brought us to the site then left us there to explore by ourselves without explaining anything. I really felt like there was no need of him in the tour as he did very minimumShow more
