Eye opening tour beyond the wall - Fernando was such an amazing guide. I was lucky to be the only one on the tour, and he gave a lot of info regarding the city beyond, the history of the area, and how people live and work. I appreciate the truthfulness of how everything was presented - and I feel this was the most fulfilling way to see how people here really live in the present day. Also, the food was delicious!
