He made sure he did whatever we wanted to do and gave us options wherever it was possible. The tour was comprehensive and gave us a better understanding about the causes of the war.

4.00This was a great tour. Our guild was very knowledgeable and friendly. Picked us up right on time and drove to the sites. We visited all the sites I wanted to see and he gave us time to wander at the sites, we were not rushed. It was good to have a driver for on our way home we ran into a traffic jam and he got us out of it quickly. My only complaint would be the price of the tour. It was expensive, I will pay for great service but this price as high.
