Good to Know Before You Go
Pickup is from your hotel in the morning, usually around 08:00, and the day wraps up in the late afternoon or early evening depending on the schedule and traffic. Plan on roughly 8 to 10 hours out and about. Because the sites involve walking and some stairs, wear comfortable shoes and bring water.
Dress for a day outdoors and pack layers, since temperatures shift over the course of the day. If you're visiting in summer, bring sun protection. A couple of the stops are religious sites, so plan to cover up a bit more when you go inside those.
