I certainly learned a lot and I also had a lot of fun. It is kind of unbelievable that a bronze age culture was able to build these marvelous sites. I mean, they hadn´t even invented the wheel. There is no way that you could call these folks primitive. The Travel 1 team was very friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. The tour ran smoothly, like a Swiss timepiece. A really great experience!
