This is a good one 👍 - We really enjoyed Mike and his shared knowledge and personality. He was easy to hear and understand (I wear hearing aids and usually have a hard time hearing guides). It was a little cooler to do this in the evening, but harder to take pictures once the sun went down. Overall, it was a good experience and I would recommend this to anyone looking for a guided tour.

Our guide spoke way too fast and didnt seem to finish one story before going to the next... - Our tour guide, Grace, didnt dress in colonial clothing. She spoke SO fast and jumped from crazy story to crazy story. She seemed to have messed up dates and times and acted like a crazy person half the time... I feel like we didnt learn much and just wanted to leave half way through. Even my two girls didn't understand what she was saying most of the time. Pretty disappointed.
