5.00Sylvia was wonderful! The level of detail of historic facts balanced with the real human stories and exposure to demonstrations was perfect. Sylvia is so knowledgeable and catered our tour for my mother who was using a scooter for the day. Sylvia was so knowledgeable, kind, and gave us more time than she should have! She was a delight! Sylvia should receive accolades for her touring abilities.
A perfect tour for those with limited time.
