3.00Tour was just ok. Had trouble hearing the guide. He was a very nice man, but there wasn’t much energy in the activity despite all the interest of the 5 people in his group. I had recently used Viator for a walking tour in Savannah, which was excellent!
Great tour! Very informative !

5.00Amanda knew what she was talking about and gave us a lot of fun facts and stories she has learned while living and working in Wilmington. She was very passionate about telling the history stories and facts. We enjoyed learning all about Wilmington and didn't know anything until we took the tour. Thank you Amanda for a great tour!
