Great tour. Very thorough, continuous, covering the entire city. The Driver/Tour guide was continuously describing people and buildings as we passed by, with an occasional pause where more time was needed to explain a particular site. I forget the name of our driver, who is also a school bus driver, but she was great! 6/28/26 1000 tour.
The tour was fantastic, Wendy was our guide and she was very friendly, fun and informative! We were so happy with our experience that we signed up for the sea tour, which was also fantastic! Thank you!
Guide was entertaining and engaging. Liked the overview of the city and history behind it.
this was a fun tour with a very knowledgeable, tour guide with a great personality and sense of humor
It was a rainy, foggy beginning of the tour so hard to see alot but Bruce our guide was very knowledgeable. It did clear up towards the end of the tour. I'd definitely suggest going on the tour when you first get to the city to get your bearings then explore more after.
Good overview of the city, state and history.
Excellent tour. Knowledgeable tour guides. Plenty of time to explore on your own. A real pleasure.
Great experience. The driver and guide were excellent.
Very good tour. It was advertised as an hour and 45 minutes and was only an hour long. But overall well done and informative.
A great tour with a wonderful guide who is very knowledgeable. Completely enjoyed the 2 hours!
