This private tour was excellent. I was with my mum and sons (age 4 and 1). I chose a private tour as I was worried that on a group tour we may not keep up, with the children. Our tour guide was knowledgable and gave us a chance to ask lots of questions. We were also given options about what we focused on. In two spots our tour guide gelped us with tge pram. Highly recommended!

Akrivi took us on a private tour, we walked past the long queues and chaos at the entrance, she managed to engage the children (tweens-older teenagers) and hold their interest for the entire time, in perfect English. Fascinating insightful information, just the right amount at each stop. She is clearly highly knowledgeable in her field and conveys all the key information with the right balance.

Exceeded Expectations
Toni S, Oct 2019
This tour was well worth the money, and then some. There were only six people in our group, so we were able to move quickly and easily through the palace and the museum. Our guide was a wealth of information, and clearly seemed to enjoy her job. Well done!
