Both camps are impressive, but be aware that the visit is a real industry and the guided tour didn't give you time to stop and overthink what you are experiencing.”

“You just cannot go wrong with Viator. This was another excursion that was affordable and infinitely pleasurable. Irene was our tour guide and since we are off-season, it was only my husband and myself for the tour. Irene is a wonderful teacher and tour guide who breaks things down to understandable terms and asked questions which was helpful for cementing all of the information that she imparted. I’ve done many chores through Viator, and they have never disappointed. I cannot recommend them enough.”
