The tour was very informative and nicely presented. The only problem is that it needs updating; one of the items discussed on the tour was no longer in the spot discussed; rather, we believe it is inside the State Museum now, not on the courtyard. (The 40x70' sculpture.) Otherwise, very helpful and pleasant.
Great way to know the history of a city as you do it at your own pace. Go for it and enjoy Albany or any other place.
