Our guide definitely knew the history of the area and clearly informed us of that. She was very personable and friendly and well prepared! Having only 8 people on the tour made it feel more personal. Our group was my family (Grandma, that’s me, daughter, son-in-law, 20 year old grandson and 17 year old granddaughter.) We all thoroughly enjoyed it!”
