Best tour in town! - This was so much fun! We have done the ghost tour and Grove so I wasn’t sure this would stand out. It did! Great story telling and FUN history. Very relaxed and didn’t sound scripted. Highly recommend!

History Lesson of Jefferson - We learned alot about the History of Jefferson. And our tour guide was very funny and personable. We saw many houses and places we wouldn't have found on our own. I highly recommend taking this tour.

Definitely must do - A great time with lots of East Texas humor. It is a great orientation to the town, to see what you want to see.
A lot of historic homes are on the tour also.
A lot of stories that you won’t hear any place else

The tour guide was fun and interesting. He brought Jefferson to life. - The old stories of people and places were most memorable in Jefferson. Also, the tips on eating places and definitely the “haunts” in Jefferson.

Great experience! - This is a must-do if you're in Jefferson. The tour guide is hilarious. He could probably be a professional comedian AND he's extremely informative. Our group really enjoyed this.
