We had an amazing time with Barbara as our tour guide! She was incredibly knowledgeable, and it was clear that she truly loves what she does. I especially enjoyed learning about the history of the houses and their unique architecture. Barbara had a knack for pointing out the little details that made everything extra special, which really brought the tour to life. Her passion and attention to detail made the experience memorable, and I would highly recommend her tour to anyone interested in diving into the local history and culture. I would definitely recommend wearing tennis shoes for this tour. The sidewalks can be quite uneven due to the roots of the live oak trees, which can make walking a bit challenging in certain areas. Comfortable footwear will make the experience much easier and more enjoyable!
