“We signed up for the half day tour and had been told that it would run from 8:30 to 11:30. We were picked up at the hotel.

We reached the monument at noon. So, 4 hours to get there! We and what felt like 10,000 more people squeezed in on the platform. Yes, the…”

It’s also very hard to do by yourself when you don’t know how anything works, their system for ticketing and bussing is not streamline (if you go by yourself, expect to be waiting in lines for hours and be very confused, even with researching the day before) It’s early but 100%…”
