Cornell was informative and funny

This tour exceeded every expectation! From start to finish, it was an incredible journey through history brought to life in the most engaging way. Our guide Carnell was not only knowledgeable but truly passionate, sharing detailed stories, fascinating facts, and little-known insights that made every stop meaningful.
What I appreciated most was how the historical context was explained in a way that was both informative and easy to understand. It didn’t feel like a lecture — it felt like stepping back in time. The guide answered every question with depth and enthusiasm, and you could tell they genuinely cared about preserving and sharing the history of the area.
The pacing was perfect, allowing us enough time to explore, take photos, and really absorb the experience without feeling rushed. Whether you’re a history lover or just curious, this tour offers something special for everyone.
I walked away with a deeper appreciation for the culture, stories, and significance of the location. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for an enriching and memorable experience. Absolutely worth it!
