Wow what an amazing informative tour we had. David was the best guide and explained so many facts that made us feel like we had lived it ourselves. Whilst it was shocking and very sad we felt it was dealt with such integrity. Highly recommend this tour and if you get David you will be as lucky as we were!! Also a fantastic photographer.

Alex was very knowledgeable and took his time making sure our questions were answered. He gave first hand details of that day because he actually experienced it.
