George was a fount of information, he engaged with all of us as he excellently drove us around to see previously unknown historical sights and artifacts. He was absolutely delightful. From his wise cracking jokes to his playful banter he kept us engaged and interested. We will definitely recommend George’s tour to everyone we know and we will most certainly go again! Take the Fire in the Valley tour, you won’t regret it.
