5.00Colleen was our guide and did an awesome job! The weather was cool so she kept us moving. It took about 2.5 hours and we were fed donuts and mimosas, a pulled pork sandwich, a smash burger, Nashville hot chicken wing, banana pudding, and a catfish taco for our tour. The walking was not too much, but added a nice aspect of seeing the area.
Informative and entertaining
