I booked this tour as a birthday celebration gift for a dear friend and there were three of us total. It could not have been a more perfect gift! It was a real treat to have Jackie take us around to famous and lesser known music landmarks and to hear the stories she shared. She sings at times during the tour too and her voice was so moving we felt transported back in time when the hits first came out! Don’t miss this if you have a chance to go!
