Mimi was one of the best tour guides I have ever had. I typically do not even write reviews, but Mimi was beyond fabulous. I would be sure and check this tour out.

We had a wonderful time on this tour. Jacqui, our guide was fantastic! She was so knowledgeable, vibrant and funny! She talked about the history and architecture of the university and amazing facts about the famous residents who lived nearby long ago. Jacqui answered many questions and gave recommendations on restaurants and things to do. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area!
