Red was our guide and she was extremely knowledgeable, entertaining and dare I say educational at times! I was there with two teenagers and had a great time. She went above and beyond, (hubby wasn't able to attend), and Red gathered all food items so he was able to enjoy later. GREAT excursion, only suggestion, write down where to find that 14$ grilled cheese! THANKS!

Our tour guide Scott was the perfect combination of comedian, historian, and local foodie. Plus, the food was fantastic! He offered great suggestions on places to go that we never would have discovered on our own as tourists. This tour was the highlight of our trip! Book it today.
