Good tour. Stephen is ok- but needs to be more focussed. Although I think we could have just focused on important aspects only. Too much of unnecessary talks like- what does consummation of marriage mean, he was asking such stupid stuff to the folks around… those can be avoided, gives the tour a bit sexist look. What would you ladies do when your husband dies! Blah blah! There is no need to relate lives of travellers to the pattern followed by emperors. Just stick to the aspects of the dynasty without having to ask the fellow travellers to relate their lives there. He even asked a lady- would you allow your husband to have a lover? These ridiculous statements are loose talks and need to be avoided in a cross cultural travel group.
