You'll still need to exchange your ticket at the ticket office. Some of the ruins are still undergoing restoration. It will definitely be hot, so remember to protect yourself from the sun and stay hydrated. Enjoy your historical site tour!

We enjoyed the tour and learned amazing things about this UNESCO World Heritage Site. My only regret is that because it was just a half-day tour, we did not have time to see the museum and learn interesting things there. The tour guide was kind. We were 10 minutes late during pick-up because we changed hotel the night before but he patiently waited and we were able to make it. Although, I rated this tour perfectly, I would just like to suggest if it is possible that the included lunch should not serve egg. Egg is my most favorite food. However, it is not really a fit for lunch. I notice that all of us in the tour group, composed mostly of Westerners, did not eat this egg viand, so it was really a waste.

Highly recommend this tour, it's worth participating in! The tour company and guide will contact you in advance to confirm the itinerary, which is very reassuring. The highlight of the tour was our guide, Michael, whose explanations were very lively and interesting, and the arrangements were also very good, allowing us to have a pleasant day. The tour also includes a lunch, which tasted good.
