A moment to reflect - The visit was very interesting and exciting. A great insight into history made of images and videos of the time. It makes you wonder that all this happened just over 60 years ago

Get a contact number! - Great tour & value! Love that time was allotted at various locations to stop & get off bus. Also, liked that we bypassed the line at the restaurant to be seated & served immediately.
