We really enjoyed the walk and talk with Dave. A 2 hour tour around downtown learning about the history and architecture of the city. The walk is suitable for most people and is not to difficult with plenty of stops and shaded areas along the way. We would recommend this activity.

This is a walking tour of the downtown area which lasts about 2 hours. The area is fairly flat and ends in a different location from where it starts. The guide was very knowledgeable about the history of the buildings and city. It was a nice thing to do at the beginning of our stay to get oriented to the area. Our group was small so it was fairly easy to hear the commentary. I would suggest you bring some water especially if it is a warm day.

Wow! This is a great way to learn about the history of the city, while enjoying a wide variety of interesting architecture. Our guide Corrie was very knowledgeable, as well as fun, and has an upbeat personality! We only had a group of five so it was easy to listen and to ask questions. This is a must do tour! It lasts a little over 2 hours and we felt was a good value. This gives you a good orientation of the city such that you can later venture out on you own.
