Walking Tour of Tucson - Caroline was very knowledgeable for only living in Tucson a short time. You can clearly see she loves what she does.

Great tour of the Public Market! - We had a blast learning about all the seedy, scary, and spooky history of Seattle. Carolyn has the perfect voice for storytelling and knows all the nooks and crannies where the history happened.

Fun tour if you are... - Fun tour if you are interested in seeing a different side of the market. Carolyn's stories were entertaining and informative. She was able to modify the route to avoid stairs for my husband but be aware it's still hilly-market built on side of cliff.

Fun and informative! - Informative and fun! A touch of sass mixed with historical accounts. The group was friendly and willing to listen. The Native stories were heartbreaking and need to be heard.

Disappointing - Incompetent people, paid 1 row at the beach €40 per day given the chaotic situation, asked for reimbursement but denied in a dry manner without the possibility of mediation..... change jobs
