Give this one a miss - Boring trip with some of the worst food I’ve had at the top of the mountain. The tour of the ruins was fine if a little underwhelming for the history. Cable car tour was pretty boring, felt more like a ride on the tube to work rather than a relaxing holiday experience. Then the complimentary meal was third world prison quality with most people leaving it untouched.
