This was a really good tour of some fascinating Roman sites, with a very informed tour guide and well-orgamised route. My only criticism would be that the person I bought has hidden fees: I had to pay additional charges for entrance for two of the sites. This should be stated clearly on the ads, and to be honest it is not worth buying this way. I spent another 26 euros, and would shave preferred to have bought the whole package, no hidden fees. I'm only leaving the five-star out of respect for our excellent tour guide, but the hidden fees thing leaves a bad taste.
Thank you for your review. We hope to welcome you back again soon.

It is a nice tour, kinda a travel into past. All 3 places are great, give you a felling how the life was 2 milleniums ago. Especially if you are lucky enough your tour guide is Kerem. He is perfect. He knows how to bring history close to you without boddering you with unnecessary facts and years. Deffinetelly thumbs up!

We enjoyed the tour as a family with Den(Sorry, I’m not sure of the name) The guide’s detailed and fun explanations kept the tour interesting. We also had plenty of free time to look around. It was even better because it was a small group. Thank you!

Thank you for your review. We hope to see you again soon.
We really enjoyed this excursion with our 3-year-old. From the start, everyone was very kind and accommodating towards our child, which made the whole day much easier and more fun for us as a family. Fatima, our guide, was fantastic — full of energy, very knowledgeable, and clearly loves what she does. She shared lots of interesting information but kept it light and engaging, which we appreciated, especially with a young child in tow. Big thanks also to Eric for organizing everything so smoothly. Everything ran on time and was well-coordinated. The lunch included was okay — nothing special, but that’s pretty much what you expect on these kinds of tours. It did the job and gave us a chance to rest before continuing the trip. Overall, a very nice day out, interesting sites, and great service. We’d definitely recommend it!
Thank you for your review. We hope to see you again soon.
I booked the tour through Eric and cannot recommend it enough. It was educational, safe, and with an authentic lunch!! The Hellenistic and Roman periods are revealed and is was fun to meet all the fellow travelers on the tour from all parts of the world.
Thank you for your review. We hope to see you again soon.
Guide was very knowledgeable. Spoke English very clearly, easy to follow and understand. Left us enough time on our own to really enjoy the time.
Thank you for your review. We hope to see you again soon.
This site overcharges for the trip. In our group of 7, all sets of people booked through different places with Viator being the most expensive by ~$25 USD per person. When we asked for 1/2 of the difference back, we were denied for quote " free sales market"- super frustrating. Beyond that, the tour guide gives very limited information, so essentially you are left paying ~$100 just for the transportation and lunch (drinks not included, no additional water or anything given during the tour either). It's way overpriced for the limited detail
