This is the 3rd tour we've done with Chris and just love him. So knowledgeable about the history and can tell how much he loves his job, makes it very fun. Also blows us away how he retains all that info...LOL.

This was an amazing tour! I learned a ton of interesting information. Our tour guide Chris was super great - friendly, knowledgeable, and has pictures/images to go along with the stories. Would absolutely recommend, 12/10.

Chris was a great guide. He is very knowledgeable about the history and stories of the area. We've learned a lot from him and his guides. We've enjoyed a few tours with Pretty Gritty and they have always been interesting and informative. We look forward to the next tour. Thank you Chris for teaching a couple of old Tacomans about oftentimes overlooked or forgotten places.
