The terrace houses are covered up by a tent like structure so from the outside they do not seem worth visiting. There is a fee so sometimes some tours do not include the visit. You will walk on plexi glass over excavated sites but although I am afraid of heights I had no problems.
WE HAD A GREAT TIME. THANKS
