Our group of 4 adults from US are very glad we booked a guided tour option and had Sariya (not sure of spelling of her name). She is an archeologist with incredible knowledge of this historical site with details we would not have learned from an audio guide. She said she loves her job and it was clearly evident: she was enthusiastic with a love of teaching people facts to describe this UNESCO site. Well done!

Great class. The guide was very knowledgeable about art and also had lots of great everyday stories to tell. He was happy to answer any questions and was simply great. And the Mesquita is great and unique anyway! Highly recommended.

The tour was very nice and reasonably long. The tour guide was very lively, her English was sometimes not easy to understand due to very Spanish accent (but no problem in the end)
