Not worth it in my opinion. Very uncomfortable ride. Be aware that a tiny tour van that squeaks and bounces is no fun. - The van or mini bus was extremely jolty and bumpy, and the constant pumping of the breaks and stop and go, sudden stops made me motion sick. The speaker was up WAY too high and I had a headache ten minutes in. Saw a few nice houses but mostly run down boarded up houses and the driver even pointed out “section 8” housing. Nothing special and not worth the money.

Tour was supposed to last... - Tour was supposed to last for 90 minutes. A lady was 25 minutes late so our tour only lasted for one hour. We were supposed to stop at four different places and we never stopped at all and got out of the van. Not worth the money, we wasted it and should’ve gone on the horse tour instead because everyone said that’s fabulous. Very disappointed I would not recommend it.
