What a great tour. So much information packed into two hours. Guy, our guide, not only knew his stuff, he lives in the neighborhood and that added a unique perspective missing from many tours. It was so good that I’d take the tour same tour a second time! You will walk away with a deep appreciation for the Margy, its people, and history.
