Published on Aug, 2024

My brother and I attended the tour on Monday after landing on Sunday night. The group only has 2 other people. I liked having the small group. The guide knew lots of great history and stories and threw in jokes. He gave us plenty of space and time to roam around on our own and take pictures.
