The late afternoon walking tour was great, especially that it ended at the top, where you could linger for the sunset on your own. First time so can't compare the crowds but there were plenty of people about but it did not affect our tour. The lady was knowledgable and made it a pleasant and informative tour. I would recommend it for a first time visitor for sure.

We walked to the site from an offsite location, which we were not expecting. But our guide was knowledgeable and moved at a great pace, never rushed us. We saw a lot more of the whole site than I expected which we loved. We were looking for an early morning tour. We wish we had set out up the hill a little faster to beat the onslaught of crowds but the guide worked well with it. Cool day and great views.
