Do I need a guide or can I really go alone?

Completely self-guided. Your digital companion provides all navigation, historical context, and practical info via maps and audio—no human guide joins you.

What's included in the EUR 16 price?

The digital guide platform (maps, audio commentary, and route planning). Entrance fees to individual tomb sites are typically separate and purchased on-site.

How long does it actually take?

The core experience is approximately 3 hours, but you control your pace. You can spend more time at sites of interest or move quickly through others.

Will the maps work if I don't have mobile data?

Download the guide and maps offline before you start so you're not dependent on spotty rural connectivity.

Is this suitable for families with children?

Yes—children can engage with the audio stories and history, and there's no rigid schedule to keep up with. Some walking and climbing between tombs is involved, so mobility matters.

What language options are available?

The digital guide supports multiple languages; confirm specific language availability when booking to match your preference.
