5.00Robin is a wonderful guide! This young man is respectful, polite and very very knowledgeable. He knows the history of the whole area; grew up in the area! Almost felt like we were in a tour with an adult grandson!! Has a sly sense of humor and really fun. This tour is so worth it. You cover a lot of ground, so get your walking shoes ready! 5 stars for this one!!
