Top tour on our trip

Our tour guide was amazing. She was so informative and knowledgeable. Other tour groups would be in and out of rooms in a matter of minutes, while we spent almost double the time in them. My wife and I left the tour not only as tourists who saw things, but as tourists who learned things.
