Easy & Fast Booking Process
Worth your time and money
It was very good, just prepare yourself before and be familiar with the route inside to smooth things up inside and listen all in the right order. All important historical records are well addressed. The tickets came in time, and the audio guides as well. One day before, we had everything we needed. However, the audio tour is extremely detailed, with so many stories that you would be there for hours if not days, if you listened to them all.
Great Experience
I purchased tickets online, which was very cost-effective. It was truly a magnificent experience. Tickets worked without a problem, and downloading an audio guide app was simple. Follow the advice to download the audio guide to your phone when you have good WiFi. Using the audio guide was great as it felt like a personalized guided tour at our own pace. I highly recommend it.
