Must do!
Wonderful experience. Our guide, Grace, was friendly and incredibly knowledgeable. She was engaging and eager to know what our family was most interested to learn. My husband, young adult kids and 5yo youngest all enjoyed our tour and got so much from it! Highly recommend

Excellent Tour
Lucy our guide was amazing. She managed to keep our 3 jet lagged hot children entertained and interested. We felt it was worth the cost to get this personal experience. WE learnt a lot and would definitely recommend,

Beautifully tailored tour for our family
We decided on a private tour because our 8 year old daughter has cerebral palsy and is hard of hearing. We thought it would benefit her to go at her own pace so we booked with Mehru and she did not disappoint! She was so charming and engaging. Our daughter loved her and learned so much that day.

The guide was late and he...
The guide was late and he wasn’t very informative. He was also on his phone a lot and only talked to us if we asked questions.
