Having seen the art, pottery, jewelry, money, arms that were excavated at the palace, and the model recreation of the site at the museum before visiting the palace helped the ruins come to life. As impressive as the model was, physically walking the ruins helped us understand why it took 100 years and 35 different kings to construct this massive compound 1500 years before the birth of Christ. You can still see the remains of the earliest man made water and sewage piping systems, and the first known paved road in Europe. Our guide was exceptional with details for just about any questions we had. Comfortable shoes and a hat are a must for this tour. You can purchase water at the entrance to the site. This tour is worth the full day.

This was awesome. The only thing I would change was the guide was too smart for my kids. She was wonderful and kind, but I had a hard time keeping up, because she was so smart. I throughly enjoyed the tour though, and I would recommend it.
