The tour guide was very friendly, the transportation time was greatly saved, and there was plenty of time for sightseeing. Everyone should check the email one day before departure, and the pick-up location will be explained.

Although we made a reservation at 9:30, we were a little late by 20 minutes. There was not a lot of people in line and it happened to be the off-season in December, so we got in quickly. It is quite large and divided into several areas. You can stroll around slowly or download the tour guide on your mobile phone. Renting a guided tour costs about 5 euros.
