Our tour guide did know any of the local history and was reading off of her phone the whole night. There were no interesting stories shared. She took us to two private events where we got kicked out. Half our tour group ended up leaving before the tour was done. Don’t wast your time or money.
Overall pleasant experience with fantastic stops along the way! Highly recommend and would do it again!
