Dean was engaging and enthusiastic. A fascinating look into the history of the area. By his own admission, some of the details may have been embellished for... read more theatrical flair which made the tour even more entertaining for the teen and preteen audience.

This tour is certainly worth the time and cost and makes it for an intriguing look into the history of the area. Highly recommended!
