The guide, Mark, told amusing anecdotes, kept an accurate count of the participants, and made a personal connection through his use of our names. The sights were interesting. The time spent at each was generous. Opportunities were made for the taking of photographs.

Mark, our guide was informative and his commentary quite interesting. He included history, facts, personal stories, and amusing anecdotes. The stops were generous in length. He even personally guided those who wanted to go on a walking tour at one of the stops. He made sure-fire recommendations for places to eat. I would highly recommend this tour!
