Not much to see? We received our 1000th 5 star review on Trip Advisor-Viator the week of your visit. Based on those reviews, they must be seeing something!

This is a 1 1/2 hour tour with an optional stop at the "Breakers" where for an additional fee you can visit this site and reboard the trolley on its next visit. The trolley bus has AC and padded but closely spaced seats. Senior price is $23. Our driver and narrator knew the history of virtually ever building we passed. Unfortunately heavy foliage in many places obscured the view of many of these mansions. Nevertheless this was a very enjoyable tour.

Morning tour of 10:30 was good. Problem is that they do not say anything about discount parking of $2 in parking garage. We spent $16 for the cab to go from our hotel, and also were there by 9:30, There was no mention of public transportaion. Narration by the driver was excellent, and he was non-stop. Trolley seats were not luxurious, and seemed older, not too comfortable.Driver was prompt on arrival and departure too. His narration was excellent. Because of Driver I am giving very good review
