Good but not great due to limited cemetery part of tour. - Good tour. Knowledgeable, personable, and interesting guide. However, the cemetery is closed and has been for years. So we stood outside looking through the locked gate. Should let everyone know they are not actually going into the cemetery. Fortunately, we saw another one during a 4 hr city tour.
