This was a very great tour. The people are extremely nice, the hotel staff was very friendly, I received a nice card at the end of my tour, I got to see a lot of historical areas, and the tour was definitely worth the investment. I learned a lot about the city going on this tour and it is actually a well shaded area due to all of the trees. The neighborhood is very quiet & safe. Make sure you have some shoes you are comfortable walking in. The Tour guides English was great. I definitely recommend.

Excellent tour, each block has a historic and charming atmosphere. The guide was very enjoyable, explaining the evolution of the neighborhood and anecdotes of its first resident families. Also, walking through its tree-lined streets made the walk refreshing and photogenic.
