Real experiences from real travelers
Our guide Ken was incredible. He shared his family's story which brought the history to life in a way the placards never could. Highly recommend booking a guide.
The museum is tough to see but necessary. The tour helped us navigate the park efficiently and understand the symbolism of the different monuments.
The 3-hour walking tour was the perfect length. We saw the Dome, the hypocenter, and the museum. The guide was very knowledgeable.
A very somber day but the most memorable. The message of peace is beautiful. The booking process was easy and the meeting point was clear.
We did the private tour and it was worth every penny. Being able to ask questions and go at our own pace made a huge difference.
