Better to book a guide . Much more interesting

buongiorno, bisogna recarsi sul posto. Presso la biglietteria ci sono diverse guide ufficiali che propongono visite guidate collettive a gruppi di 10 persone che si formano al momento in base alle richieste. La visita guidata si paga a parte rispetto al biglietto d'ingresso e costa 100 euro a gruppo per la durata di 1 h e mezza circa. Se il gruppo raggiunge le 10 persone il costo è di 10 euro/persona. Consiglio vivamente questa esperienza poichè le guide sono archeologi molto preparati e innamorati del loro lavoro. Buona visita!

Sheila - we went into a travel agent near the bus station after looking at several others around town. We booked one that went in a minibus to ensure small numbers (there aren't many). We don't usually go with tours but were glad we did with this one as he took us into different areas when the main ones were crowded etc and it was great - the guide came from a family of tour guides The pick-up at the bus station is manic though with loads of people with lists of names trying to find their passengers - we were worried they'd go with us but it all seemed to work itself out in the end! Have to say, we didn't see any guides waiting for punters when we arrived and were glad we'd come with a group in the end but the weather was extremely windy which may have been the reason. When we left in the middle of the day, there were a coupe of them around then but it is all down to chance.

Hi. We met Dr Leone at the ticket entrance. A matter of luck. However, he can only be contacted this way on some days. Perhaps if you indicate on Trip Advisor you want to make a booking, he may notice your interest and respond.
