Impressive fortified city-palace from the 900's, partially excavated

A wonderful tour guide. She is clear, patient, interesting. There were some difficulties with young children, nobody's fault, she handled it well. There is a lot of walking, including stairs, she paced the tour. At the entry center, a 15-minute film, plus some some food, before a bus to the actual site. A lot is included for the price. I did not see acoustiguide material, you need a guide.

Excellent trip, excellent guide

My wife and I very much enjoyed the tour. All the logistics were well-handled: Cristina met us at the designated location (at the Mosque-Cathedral) and got us all in the taxi she pre-arranged for the trip to the site. Her commentary at the site was both interesting and entertaining. The pre-arranged taxi was waiting for us at the site at the end and took us all back directly to the area where our apartment was.
