Alex did a wonderful job.... - Alex did a wonderful job. We had a wonderful time and really learned a lot. Recommend an earlier tour so that there is time to spend some focused time on highlights after the tour.

- Chris Lee was our tour guide. He was very knowledgeable, and nice. He called us before so we knew where and how to meet him in the lobby. We skipped the lines. It was very organized and great!
