It seemed as every sentence included slavery or slaves. I was expecting more of a fun tour not expecting a high school history class. You could have easily had in earbuds and heard the entire tour recorded. We almost fell asleep a few times. We did see some beautiful homes, enjoyed seeing the Citadel it was the reason I chose this tour.

Not enough historical information it felt like it was more of the opinion of the tour guide. Sometimes I wasn’t sure what building or restaurant he was talking about.
