We visited the Oldest Store Museum. Leo was our Guide. He made it fun and interesting at the same time. He was patient with me as I was taking him off course constantly asking about each and every item there was and he was tolerant and patient. He was great and I say you should ask for him specifically as he will make your trip great!
