This was a short (1 hour)general information walking tour on Duke of glochester street. Our guide, Lonnie, was very knowledgable, funny, articulate and easy to listen to. Would highly recommend before touring the buildings

We were not able to find the starting place so we didn't get to go on the tour. It was sad and we were disappointed.

Personalized, just enough for a brief tour. Learned new things. Easy to register and pay, the day before

Lonnie was very knowledgeable and also fun. We really enjoyed how he communicated the information as well as answering any questions we had. He was also gracious about finding shade when we were at a stopping point.
