    Wandering through the streets while delving into the city’s past struggles was a captivating experience. I was especially moved by the stories shared at key sites related to the war, which added depth to my understanding of the historic backdrop. It would’ve been even better if the pace allowed for a bit more time to soak in each location.

    We had an eye-opening experience delving into the historic struggles of the past during our walking tour. Our guide’s passion for the events surrounding the civil conflict truly brought each story to life, making us feel connected to the city’s rich yet tumultuous history. As we strolled through the streets, we were particularly struck by the significance of the murals that depict the resilience of the locals during those challenging times. While the pace was engaging, a few more opportunities to ask questions would have enriched our understanding even further. Overall, this exploration offered us a deeper appreciation for the layers of history hidden around every corner.

    Diving into the city’s tumultuous past during our walking tour was both enlightening and captivating. We were particularly struck by the stories shared at the historic square, where the echoes of conflict still resonate through the architecture. One small suggestion would be to allow a bit more time for questions—there was so much to absorb, and we wanted to dig deeper into the narratives we encountered!
