Well worth the time. - Very good guide. Good pace. Good information. Not too large a group and comfortable stops and locations. Not strenuous though some stairs and walking is the norm.

10,000 steps of AWESOME! - We were so fortunate that this tour was the first one we planned on our vacation. Catherine was a tremendous docent. We now know where to find restaurants and shopping, as well as the rich history of RESO. This tour was a lot of walking, 10,000 steps on my tracker. There were so many things to see, places to go, and history to learn, it didn’t seem that we were walking that far. This experience cannot be missed!!
