This was an absolutely phenomenal tour! I’ll definitely be back to explore the other tours they offer. Carolyn was knowledgeable, friendly, and just such a pleasure to learn from. She shares fascinating, little-known fun facts and stories, and she’s also just great at inserting humor into her tours. I highly recommend this tour!!!

Carolyn is warm and personable. She told stories about the monuments that were full of interesting tidbits. Her iPad was full of great historical photos that helped us understand the origins of many of the monuments. We all loved it (5 of us aged 2 years to 68 years). Bring your walking shoes and water ... we had a stroller, too. There's no way we would have learned as much or had so much fun without Carolyn's great tour!
