We arrived at start point, no guide. Called operator, guide finally arrived, WITH GIRLFRIEND dressed in bikini, guide was dressed in sweats and baseball cap, told us it was a last minute booking (has been scheduled for a week), and started tour by telling us it was "spring break" and we shouldn't go certain places which were expected on the tour.
My wife and I knew more about Art Deco history of buildings than tour guide could share.
Showed us a street with "strip joints". I am a minister, and my wife couldn't have cared less. Told us that the beautiful Post Office was still functioning as a post office... "you can still pick up your mail there..."
On the plus side, we stopped at the Marina (interesting, but not exactly Art Deco), and at the Holocaust Memorial. We also drove down main street with iconic art deco bldgs... would like to have stopped to take some pictures. We saw another tour guide stop to take pictures. Would like to have been on that tour.
Overall, nearly a waste of time and money.
