Well worth it

Insightful, educational, fun. Was very personal and professional. 2 hour tour well worth the time and expense. tour guide was great. Goup size was 3 so that made it more personal.

Incredible history - don’t miss this one.

Our guide’s knowledge of the details of construction and daily life was incredibly interesting. And he was very responsive with additional info to questions.

Disappointing

The guide never showed up. We arrived shortly before the time. We inquired of individuals at the ticket booth if there was anyone with a yellow sign which was the identification information we received.
