Loved it! - Our tour guide was outstanding! We went on Saturday, April 27 at 1:45pm
We would highly recommend as he was knowledgeable, engaging and kind! He gave my Dad lots of attention and answered all his questions. I think the fact that he was a professor and he’d been doing these tours for 25 years made a huge impact!
