Very interesting guided walking tour of Idaho City. Our guide, Rhonda, is very knowledgeable sharing the History and background of this unique little town. I brought a group from my destination family reunion and we all enjoyed our tour.

Rhonda is sooo cool. She took us all over town with her dog Mojo. Great walking tour. Rhonda knows a lot about history and she makes it fun too. Mojo knows the route and it was a lot of fun watching him check out the bar to see if handouts were forthcoming. He's a really cool dog. Idaho City has a ton of history and we would have missed a lot of it if we had not taken this tour. Highly recommended.
