Reviews
Tour was 40 min not 90. Info said to arrive 15 min early. Start time was listed at 445 so there were a whole bunch of people waiting looking for the guide at 4:30 very lost and confused and frustrated. The guide turned up at 4:45 and said oh the tour is at five and you were supposed to be here at 4:45 which is not what the ticket said and clearly not what an entire group understood. Well, we did have Skip the line tickets - it definitely was not worth the exorbitant price to get a very short audio tour.
Je n'ai pas pu faire l'excursion car on m'a voler ma carte d'identité la veille et j'ai du faire mes démarches auprès de l'ambassade.
The worst - couldn’t find the guide, felt rushed, the audio guide was horrible
