If you want to stand and listen to a lot of the information this tour is good for you. I wanted to walk more and explore - Tour was not what I expected. We did not walk around the cemeteries as I thought. There was a lot standing and the tour guide talking.

Not really worth your money or time - Honestly, don’t waste your money or time. You walk to a few cemeteries, stand at a few graves and hear a little history. You can do that at most of the cemetery’s on your own in a fraction of the time and for free.
