He called and made arrangements to leave the entry tickets for us. He then let another guide who was giving a tour know that we could possibly join her tour. She kept an eye out for us and even came back to the entry gate to get us. They were all so kind, and welcoming. The tour itself was fantastic. They gave so much interesting history and answered lots of questions. I highly recommend this tour!Read more”
