Great tour with informative guide - Champ was our tour guide and he was awesome and knowledgeable. He took the time to show the tour group certain trees, plants and flowers in the area. His education on the civil war was vast. Our son said he learned a few things he didn’t know pre it’s to the tour. Great tour, guide and we highly recommend.
