Our group had just five people, including the host, JD. From the moment we arrived, the fun began and continued throughout. The city’s smells, sights, and sounds can be overwhelming, but JD guided us through it all effortlessly. We visited a couple of religious sites, where we received a brief yet informative insight into the places of worship. We even got to help out in the kitchen at one of them. JD then…”
