10 out of 5

We would give this ten stars if we could!! Great experience. Kana, our guide, is incredible! So knowledgeable and shared such insightful details and personal stories from survivors. She answered all of our questions and we had great discussions at every stop. I think this tour helps you see points of interest you might miss if you're on your own. The electric bikes were top notch and Kana did a great job of making sure we felt safe and knew what we were doing. This is an amazing experience and we loved spending time with Kana!

Kerl was excelent!! Especially the story of the ending was impressive. It reminds me when I was in Nanjing in China. We need to retrospect the past. Kerl has a lot of trivia we can not Google.
