Great tour with a lot of history. Our guide (I cannot remember his name) was very knowledgeable about each site plus more. This tour is not in a trolley but an air conditioned mini bus which was wonderful on a hot July day. I highly recommend if you like history and want to learn more about the area.

Thank you for your feedback. We're so happy you enjoyed the tour. We're fortunate to have Daniel (your guide) deliver in-depth, factual history in a way that's entertaining. We also understand the need for air conditioning right now, and glad we could provide that for you.
