My father was born and raised in this village, and I grew up here as a child. The history and knowledge gained walking out blew my mind. It was literally a new light shed on my home town.
It was insanely clean and fully air-conditioned. Our guide, Captain George was radically knowledgeable and explained everything clearly and thoroughly. If you love learning new things, he will give you all the juicy and fun facts with all the love in his heart. It's an experience I highly recommend if your passing through.
Additionally, a very rude Swiss woman came in and was super loud for a museum and threatened them with a bad review. We all jump in to ask her nicely to simply keep it down because we were enjoying our learning experience that much. #swisskaren your loss in such an amazing experience.
Highly recommend...
