Nice trip

Out tour guide was amazing(Adelene). She was so enthusiastic about the topic and was super open to questions and very nice. She definitely made our tour worth every minute. One comment to the company, u should make it clear that we cannot access the university library as everyone was expecting to enter it as mentioned in the tour description. Other than that all well.
