It was really cool to be able to stand in a specific place and then put on the goggles to see how that same place looked and what was going on at a particular point/event in history. It was much more memorable than just reading about the event in a museum. The places we saw were super interesting and were ones I would not have ordinarily seen, so this would complement well with a tour that would hit…”

Senza dubbio una cosa da fare...”
Every kind of day out, and the best of each.
