Highly recommend this tour, but you must ask for Bryan! He is very knowledgeable and took us to so many interesting places. This tour surely beats the "big ole tour bus" experience.

So glad we picked this tour, from Ohio - Brian is so knowledgeable of the area. He has such a pleasant voice that is easily heard. He even brought snacks took us to a few stops that were not mentioned. Ask him any question and he has the answer. It was great meeting him and the others in our small group.
