Awesome tour!

Tom was a fantastic tour guide and highly experience. His depth of knowledge was inexhaustible and his ability to share background and relevance to each location a true history class that I wish I had had in high school or college. It was the best tour guided experience I have ever had.

Carole_K, September 2026
The host is very knowledgeable. His tour has a smaller range but goes into depth pulling the architecture and history of the central historic area. We had 6 on our group and each of us agreed that the tour was we'll worth the time and money. You can't go wrong.
