The tour was great. Learned a lot. The trolley was comfortable on a chilly day. Particularly loved Charlie’s Place and the restaurant that was referenced that we visited for lunch.

We are so glad that you enjoyed the tour and The Sea Captain's House, one of if not the most historic eateries here. Charlie's Place is a treasure not to be missed. You were such fun. We hope to have you aboard again. Thanks!
