“An Amazing place to visit, which I would highly recommend. So much to see, full of history and beautiful architecture, and could have spend double the amount of time in there looking around. I bought the basic entry ticket which was fine, but I wish I had paid extra for the guided tour as much of the writing on the tombs was in Latin. Would definitely visit again as there was so much to see.”
