“This tour was a highlight of our trip. Our guide, Angie, was wonderful. She was sweet and knowledgeable about the area, and able to answer all of our questions. We were incredibly lucky- I bought the tour at 7pm the night before, and we were the only ones on the tour. There wasn’t a ton of walking (the route covers a couple of blocks) but you have to stand and the sidewalks can be uneven.”
