5.00"Mother Goose" was AMAZING!!! We all learned so much!! Took our 15 year old grandson, who is a history fanatic, on the tour with 2 of our adult kids. All of us were so interested!! Our guide kept it upbeat, factual, so incredibly interesting, and fun. She tried to keep us out of the hot sun as much as possible. Greatly appreciated!! GREAT JOB Mother Goose!!!
