If you go to these sites, the one expense you should not stint on is to
hire the best human guide available - they make the otherwise lifeless
bricks and rocks come to life.
Not to do so is rather like buying a Leica and trying to save a few dollars
by buying knockoff batteries and cheap cards....
Cheers
