    Our guide, Rimmel, was very knowledgeable and patient with our group. Her explanation about the intricacies of what we were looking at helped our understanding of the history and significant activities at that time.

    Response from Host, Sep 2024

    Thank you so much.

    I won't take a tour again with Viator. I paid 200 for a lousy trip
