A great 2+ hour tour with Ike as our guide. He is very knowledgeable and personable. Great views, good recommendations for further investigation, and lots of good brisket sites.

The tour was awesome. Kendalin was a great tour host. It was fun visiting the State Capitol building and trying out the delicious gelato/sorbet from the food truck among other highlights. Highly recommend.
