Excellent experience - This is a must for anyone interested in Wilmington (and the wider South)'s history and architecture.
Amanda is funny, informative and very knowledgeable. The walking is taken at a pace which suits everyone and there are few inclines to climb. It lasts around 1hr 45mins. Well worth it and great value for money.

Very knowledgable historical tour - Amanda, our tour guide arrived on time. She explained exactly what area of town we were walking. Amanda's knowledge was impressive! Having lived in Wilmington a very long time as well as attending college here was evident. She was super nice and very articulate. I high;y recommend this tour with Amanda.

DO not Miss Out on This Tour!!! - THIS 2 HOUR ALKING TOUR THEOUGH ONE OF THE MANY HISTORIC DISTRICTS IS NIT TO BE MISSES. Anyone can walk around But you miss the whole historical significance without such a knowledgeable guide who knows her stuff and how to present it so you keep saying I didn't know that ! THE TRIALS AND YRIBULATIONS wilmington experienced were probably overlooked in tour high school classes. Do not miss this personable tour if you want to know Wilmington
