“Definitely recommend this to people. Our driver was on time and very nice. When we arrived at the museum we were greeted politely and asked if we wanted a tour guide. The man told us his incredibly unfortunate life story and then we walked around the grounds. There was a huge collection of military vehicles and equipment and it was actually nice to see them unrestored I would recommend wearing insect repellent and you could spend 60-90 minutes here.”
