Overview

Guidekin summary

A semi private group capped at eight through all three sites with a licensed guide, picked for families because small children go free and teenagers get a discount. Entry tickets, fees and taxes are included at €125 per person. The timed entry does not wait for late arrivals, and airport style security can add a queue in high season.
