5.00This was a good tour with nice guide. Perhaps a little long as it ran more than 2.5 hours. Guide could have terminated a little earlier.

5.00A fabulous history tour, walking for 2.30 hours. Our guide, Viola, was knowledgeable, had great energy, and was very friendly! Loved her! She also made sure to accommodate our group--some needed to sit when we stopped for her talks. She also made sure to ask if anyone needed a toilet break, coffee, or shade. I learned a lot and had a very nice time.

5.00Olivia was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and patient. My husband has a walker due to his Parkinson’s and she made sure he was able to keep up. She frequently asked the group if there were any questions. Asked if we needed a toilet break. Highly recommend this tour with Olivia.
