3.00The tour guide was fine. The tour itself was a waste of money. You can easily do everything on your own. See a bridge
Great tour!

Knowledgeable Guide; Trolley Obstructs View

4.00Loved: your guide’s depth of knowledge and excitement about history! I learned soooo much and he made me want to know more. We are following all his recommendations to visit other sites. Since you’re asking…guide sometimes talked so fast I couldn’t understand what he said. Also, the trolley doesn’t have enough window space. You can’t see the buildings he’s talking about unless you’re on that side of the trolley. Can some of the wood paneling be replaced with windows?
10/10 recommend

4.00Particularly enjoyable for history buffs. That said, this is mostly touring historic neighborhoods and stopping to look at the homes of famous historical figures and/or looking at buildings where famous events took place. Not as interesting for the casual tourist. Trolley was comfortable and tour guide was knowledgeable.
