Emily was a fabulous tour guide. She had numerous interesting facts that weren’t in the standard text books. The best part was going into the former beauty salon and meeting the current owner.

Very very informative, Emily was great. I think it was a bit pricey, especially seeing that we were unable to go into certain places, the price should have reflected it, but the presentation was great.
