The tour was very wonderful. Guide was so knowledgeable and shared much information previously unknown despite prior knowledge of the massacre and coup. Shared landmarks and unmarked spots too. Excellent experience.

I never heard of the coup until I saw this offering. We enjoyed the walk and discussion. Others in the group asked good questions and added tidbits.
