Excellent food and history tour! - The tour was excellent. More food stops than usual on a this type of tour, and the food was excellent. Also the portions were larger than normal. Our guide, who was the tour owner, explained a lot of the history of Oswego as well as the current continuing renovations of the city and showed us many of the old buildings including their stories. Well worthwhile and highly recommended1

Was okay - Wife enjoyed it, for me, just okay. Guide was wonderful. I felt it was too expensive for tour and amount of food/snacks served. And then ending on the rooftop restaurant to share a drink and be seated facing building rooftops in front, building rooftops to the right, and a wall of shelves to the left was the coup de grâce.
