A5 Italy hands down! So much history and so many sites! You could spend years and not see them all 😍 #InspireToWander

replying to @inspiretowander @inspiretowander In the US The sites for the Civil war battles are hot spots. In Quebec city that is another hot spot for history in Canada and New France #inspiretowander

A6 I'm not a big guided tour person, but depending on the site it can be very helpful. Places that have detailed maps or lots of signage are more fun to explore on your own, but not everywhere has that info handy so a guide can be good. #InspireToWander

replying to @inspiretowander @inspiretowander A6: I'm so guilty of not booking tours when I go places. But when I do, I always learn so much so I probably should be more often! #InspireToWander

replying to @pint_pound_pate @pint_pound_pate @JustinLaurenXO So many churches, palaces, abbeys, etc. you could spend years in just England. #InspiretoWander

replying to @JustinLaurenXO @JustinLaurenXO A6: i do book them, and I find that the advantage is learning things but the disadvantage is having to actually stay with the group when you just want to move on and do your own thing. #InspireToWander

replying to @andreapeacock_ @andreapeacock_ @inspiretowander Definitely Italy! It has the largest number of Unesco sites! #InspireToWander

replying to @inspiretowander @inspiretowander A5: I think France with its Napoleonic Wars, French Revolution, the Resistance, the Enlightenment, and so many other important events is a wonderful place to visit for historians. I also think Egypt (it's so much older than France!) #InspireToWander

replying to @inspiretowander @inspiretowander A6: It depends on the site but usually do. I find that you can learn so much, like personal stories, with a tour guide. Or something funny can happen, like when we did a skip-the-line-tour to see David in Florence and our guide kept calling him the “Big Boy.” 🤣🤣#InspireToWander

replying to @JustinLaurenXO @JustinLaurenXO A6. I don't really book tours because I enjoy exploring on my own, rather in groups and I like learning as I go, at my own pace or later, after I've visited. Also, I'm cheap! 😁 #InspiretoWander
KaraDiDomizio
replying to @inspiretowander @inspiretowander A5) i think to me #Spain has such an array of diverse and interesting history dating back even pre-Roman conquest of Iberia! I also think another natural historic hub would be #England and #Scotland which I am pleased to be visiting soon! #InspiretoWander

A6. We prefer to book a tour for historical sites. Tour guides have a way of making old walls come alive with funny stories #inspiretowander

replying to @GPJohnston @GPJohnston @inspiretowander That's so cool! Do you know how old it is? #InspireToWander

replying to @SarahJeanTravel @SarahJeanTravel @inspiretowander Philly is just such a great city and I’m so glad you got to come to DC and see the constitution in person. I always find it unexpectedly moving to see them in person. #InspireToWander

replying to @byland_and_sea @byland_and_sea A6: For me it depends on the popularity of the site. If a tour will avoid having to wait in long lines then definitely! Also depends how much I know about the site. #InspireToWander

A6 I prefer self-guided tours because then I get to set my own pace, skip sections I'm not interest in and spend longer at those I like, and I can do the tours whenever I like. #inspiretowander

replying to @amaixico @amaixico @inspiretowander Mexico is absolutely incredible for historic sites! I've only scraped the surface myself! #InspireToWander

replying to @Vacations_w_mom @Vacations_w_mom @inspiretowander The benefits of growing up with diplomatic parents...lots of moving around and experiencing different places. It gets in your blood. And it’s a big reason why I work with NPS as a ranger today - there’s just less jet lag domestically. #InspireToWander

A4 #InspireToWander @inspiretowander the most memorable historic site I have visited and experienced has probably been @ParksCanada @ParksCanada_NS #FortessOfLouisbourg where we stayed for 48h in the Fortress and it was amazing! @VisitNovaScotia @TourismCB

replying to @inspiretowander @inspiretowander A6: It really just depends on how much more I want to learn about the historic site. Certain places like the Vatican I booked a tour with. Advantage is you can learn more and ask as many questions as you want. Disadvantage is you can't go at your own pace. #InspireToWander

replying to @JustinLaurenXO @JustinLaurenXO A6: Only if the logistics involved would be too difficult to do on my own. Tours take care of a lot of the variables, but that means you're restricted to someone else's plan and time. #InspireToWander
SarahJeanTravel
replying to @inspiretowander @inspiretowander A6: it depends on what type of site it is and what I’m looking for. Sometimes it’s nice to travel in a good to meet people and have a guide explain things, but other times I like to experience the sites on my own and at my own pace #InspireToWander

A6) Booking a tour often allows a way to see more of the site than you could if you were only attending as a guest. We would never have found the intimate experience of Eleanor Roosevelt's home without a booked tour at Val Kill Cottage. #InspireToWander @NPS_HydePark
