• Small groups ensure a personalized experience

Kerry did a great job. It was only me and my wife due to the excessive heat, so he was very casual and customized the tour to our interests. He knows a ton about the city. We even had to take a short break because my wife broke her sandal, and he extended the tour a bit beyond the scheduled duration so we could do the full thing. Overall, good experience (despite the heat!).

This tour was one of the few tours that we took where my friend and I had a guide all to ourselves, which made it very comfortable to ask questions and receive prompt and well educated answers. The guide we had, Kerry, was a delight. He was not originally scheduled to be our guide, but was on time and prepared. You could tell how enthusiastic he was about the history. We had a great time on this walking tour.

We booked a Thursday morning tour with Jackie. She has a great way of story telling adding in anecdotes and history to make it all digestible. My 3 kids got a lot of good facts and understanding. What a great way to learn history - right where it all happened.
