Stuff you didn't learn in history class! - We enjoyed the information about the sights we were seeing. Our guide gave us some good historical facts that we never learned in our history classes.

A gateway for further exploration - The tour provided an excellent overview and history of the historical neighborhoods covered leaving us wanting to return to explore more in depth. The museum was larger and more interesting than we had anticipated. The Visitor's Center was great-particularly the very clean bathrooms.

Enjoyable tour - We thought the tour guide was very knowledgeable and the sights we saw were interesting. We even went back to a few on our own to see them up close. We had the tickets for the museum as well which we thoroughly enjoyed.
