MUST have a guide for this tour - VERY informative

Although it was a heavy subject, Ian did a great job keeping us engaged and moving. He’s essentially a historian on the subject! I’m so glad I did a guided tour and not a solo visit. I learned so much, albeit very grim and sad. Ian, tell your mama you have fans in the travel world!
