Explore the archaeological site at opening with a private archaeologist-guide, entering restricted areas closed to general visitors.
What to expect
Your guide meets you at the gate as it opens, ahead of the general crowds, and leads you through the main temple complex with detailed historical context. Midway through, you're brought past a barrier into an active excavation trench to see recent finds up close. The pace is relaxed, with time for questions and photography without jostling for space. The tour concludes at a quiet overlook with panoramic views of the full site.
Good to know
Book at least 48 hours ahead as private slots are limited; wear closed-toe shoes and sun protection, and plan for uneven ancient stone underfoot.
