Admire the richly decorated buildings and courtyard as you hear about the college's history, and then finish at a nearby traditional herbalist shop. View the shelves of rainbow-coloured oils and concoctions; watch a presentation on the plants used in the remedies; and perhaps sample and buy some of the wares as mementos. Your 3.5-hour tour then ends with a hotel drop-off.
