Dwayne, our tour guide, is a World Class Guide, his knowledge was extensive and thorough with a mindset to sharp details in History that may escape other tour guides. Dwayne was gracious, polite and spoke extremely clearly and had such infectious enthusiasm you could not help feeling the excitement he shared. Even upon completion of the tour my wife and I crossed paths with Dwayne and he was very delighted to run into us again. This tour was a walking tour and there was only 8 of us in the group, which kept all of us close to Dwayne so he did not need to repeat himself as much as he might in a large group. This was the best guided tour my wife and I have been on, ever. Thank you Dwayne And thank you Tripadvisor
