RATING ★★★★★
This is a very comprehensive tour for one day. Lawerance is very engaging and knowledgeable. The expected sites were covered sites and Lawernce gave great commentary. I think this tour was a great value for a one-day tour.
TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Thanks for the review. This year's weather (especially this month) has been unusually hot and humid. Thanks for your suggestion. I will definitely check with my future guests, especially senior citizens if they are comfortable enough to continue with the late part of the tour.
