This tour is very educational and humbling. Keith was our guide, and is excellent. We received updates by email on where to meet and who our guide was going to be.
Great Tour!

James was a great guide! Had a lot of knowledge and shared in a precise way that offered a lot of background information so everyone felt like they understood (no matter their knowledge base). The meeting point was clear. James always looked for opportunities for comfort (talking in the shade, scouting seats for everyone, adjusting pace). I would highly recommend!
Intense and informative

We were not aware of the significance of this camp prior to our visit. Sam's guidance not only kept us safe but made us aware of all of the important facts, challenging us to think about this time period and the people that were affected. An excellent guide and teacher. The size of the group was perfect. We highly recommend this experience.
