Amazing walking tour with Evans - Evans was our tour guide and he was fabulous. What an intelligent man. I was amazed by his depth of knowledge of history. He was an excellent speaker and made history come to life. I could have listened to him all day! My husband does not enjoy learning about history like I do but he even enjoyed this tour due to the guide's presentation skills. I highly recommend this walking tour.
