This was an excellent morning. The guide was brilliant, Ilove that rehearsed but not rehersed style tht made me feel like he knew all the people personally. A historical walk down memory lane part of it brought me back to my school history classes

We visited the cemetery and did the "dead interesting tour". The tour was really interesting and sometimes also really funny. Our tourguide had a great sense of humour and he really knew how to tell good stories with a dry and witty sense of humour....More
