Our guide, Tony was so helpful and remained entertaining throughout the entire tour. Overall, the experience was a 10/10. He was very knowledgeable about the history of this archaeological site and was very informative. I would definitely reccomend this tour for English and Spanish speakers as he made all of us feel very comfortable.
