5.00Interesting facts backed up with photos. This tour gives the lay of the land concerning the main characters from the book and the movie. Ryan was fun to listen to and suggested a few other reads that I’m looking forward to picking up. It was a great pace and the walk was comfortable. I would definitely recommend! Thanks!
Great tour!
