We went on the 4 hour tour with Sarah as our guide on Oct 3rd and really enjoyed it! It was our first full day in the area and we wanted to get a good overview. This worked out well because the tour allowed us to easily and quickly figure out the areas we were and weren’t interested in revisiting. Sarah is very warm and friendly and we really enjoyed the tour with her - she did a great job! Highly recommend.

Bill was our guide and he was a master in his trade! He was very personable and his knowledge of the area was bar none! He studies and reads books about the area, the culture, the home owners, the community, etc. He knew all the special places to tour, all of the ways to get around other tourists to ensure we could view the overlooks and he was very flexible with our tour, ensuring we did everything we wanted to do. Bill had a great sense of humor, he had snacks and water to keep us happy and he gave us recommendations of where to eat and what to see afterwards.

My wife and I spent 4 hours on a private tour with Bill. I highly recommend you request him. He could not have been nicer or more knowledgeable. The tour was awesome. There are so many scenic locations and wonderful history, I couldn’t imagine seeing the sites any other way.
