our guide Hassan was nice enough, but the little side gallery most people miss felt a bit rushed honestly. On a rainy sunday. Not as good as the one we did in kyoto tbh. Bit disappointed ngl, used it for our summer trip, no joke

our guide Kemal had so many stories and the little side gallery most people miss was the highlight, and good as a half-day option, and audio in 6 languages.

our guide Priya had so many stories and skipping the massive queue out front was the highlight, and worked great for a solo traveller like me, and skipped a 45 min queue.
