The tour was excellent, full of stories, very rich in detail. Our guide was fantastic. The only "if not" is that there isn't much time to stop and take pictures.

It's easy to buy tickets; it's not immediately clear that the admission time refers to the entrance to a building and not to the entire complex. I found it difficult to access the tickets and the audio guide.

We only booked the night before, but everything went smoothly. We skipped the line and didn't have to wait at all.
