5.00Very informative and interesting tour. Our guide Amanda was very knowledgeable and pleasant. Her information was well organized and she was good at answering questions. We have taken many historic walking tours in different cities, and she was no doubt one of the most engaged and best guides. We knew nothing of the city’s history so we learned a lot of new information.
