I took the guided and it was the best way to go . She was able to give me so much more information than just the signs outside the houses. I would definitely recommend this tour.

Our tour guide, Camille, was the best. She is very knowledgeable and it shows that she enjoys her job.

I liked that they had homes displayed for two different incomes so we could compare. I like that there were people inside some of the homes to answer questions. I wish I would have known the cooking demonstrations were only on select days, I was really looking forward to that.
