I probably had the best tour guide ever!!! Thelma! What can I say? Absolutely phenomenal. Author; journalist; story teller; history enthusiast. Her love of history was apparent and infectious. I learned a ton on this tour without realizing it. When you book this tour, which I highly recommend, I hope you are lucky enough to get Thelma as your guide.
