Terry did an excellent job giving us the tour. He was extremely knowledgeable about all of the history he spoke about. We would recommend this tour to anyone. It would have been nice if Viator would have mentioned more detail on where to meet at. They only gave an address. Take this tour you will be glad you did!!
