Lutfi is an extremely knowledgeable and experienced tour guide, and we appreciated the depth of information he shared. At times, though, it was difficult to hear him, as he spoke quite softly, which made parts of the tour harder to follow. Overall, if you’re someone who prefers a quieter, more low-key guide and values deep knowledge, you may enjoy this tour, but clearer projection would really improve the experience.

Out exploring!!
Definitely worth a visit. Lots of people but the history of the place made it such a treat. Especially since we had never been in one before and probably wont ever be again.

Talk about feeling like you stepped through to an ancient time and an ancient world. Breathtakingly beautiful at every turn. Highly recommend!

  • Wear comfortable, nonslip shoes to traverse the steps and the often-wet ground.

  • The entrance for wheelchair users and other visitors with mobility challenges is at the cistern’s exit.

  • As the cistern is underground, the setting is damp and cool. Take a layer if you don’t want to feel the chill.
