Come for the history, stay for a lived modern experience - Exceeded expectations beyond belief... You think tour and static history with boring facts. However this is history across time and lively. Not only do you see and learn vivid details about the historical places, you also get the feel for how the communities have evolved around the history, and get a deeply local, authentic, and genuine connection with the purveyors and tour guidea. It felt so alive, richly informative, incredible, and so fun
