    Chris was knowledgeable and funny. He did a good job discussing the building we passed and the areas moved through. Aside from discussing George's Island, not much local history was revealed. He provided lunch options.

    Great guide, Victor, very knowledgeable. The tour included most of the sights we had planned on seeing, but with the local touch that added a better understanding of what we’re seeing, rather than just reading a guide book. Well done!! And thanks for the warning about the moon gun.
