It was an awesome tour. Andrew showed me great places around the memorial, explained really everything and answered all of my questions with a lot of joy. I felt like going on a tour with a good friend, not just with a tour guide. I highly recommend this tour. I took the all inclusive package with tour, museum and observatory. The tour was amazing, the museum a must see!!! and the view from the observatory really awesome!! I would totally do it again!!
