    The tour was small group like 20 people is not that small I thought It was gonna be like 10 people only , but the guide Max is an archeologist he taught us a lof of history and important details, even though the tour was like 3 hours I felt there was a bit of rush , I get it the place is crowded and you need to keep moving so sometimes if feels like you’re just passing by and no time for a picture , another thing is I strongly believe no question is stupid to ask and the guide ignored some of the questions from an elderly lady for no reason whatsoever the women asked 3 different times and no response at all , other than that the tour was good, oh one last thing meting point is not on the square on top of the metro station you need to go further up to the office, check in and then they give you the radio and the headset .
