A truly memorable experience. Lisa was very knowledgeable, kind and patient. I could have spent much more time at the site and the museum.

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.
