Melanie’s Great Tour - Spent the morning with Melanie!! She’s so professional and really knows her history, but the best part is how expressive she was as a story teller! Kept us all thinking and engaged. I appreciated her knowledge in the fort as well. Highly recommend.

Great tour but ended running too long - Enjoyed the experience guide very knowledgeable. Learned so much about the beautiful city. She had pictures to add information and answered questions. Unfortunately after running 45 minutes over our allotted time we missed most of the fort tour as we had to leave to catch our flight. Granted at the beginning she asked if anyone had a time constraints but never imagined we get that far behind. Definitely got our moneys worth but would have like to see more of the fort.
