Thank you Steve for my excellent tour. I felt l learnt so much about the neighbourhood and African American history through your knowledgeable commentary. Also l thank your company for allowing me to have a solo tour (many companies have a two person minimum which means l often miss out!!). Thanks again Steve, l enjoyed my private tour!, your company and our conversation.
