She sensitively created an atmosphere of warmth and empathy for the range of emotions we experienced viewing the museum artifacts from that day in history. We also had a tasty lunch and made origami cranes ( symbolizing peace) at one of the best scenic spots to view the city. I highly recommend this tour.”
