Do carriage before walking tour - Madison was great as was Jameson. It was a little disappointing after we did a walking tour in Monday and covered double the area. I just thought we’d cover more area by horse. If we’d have only done the carriage tour or done it before the walking tour, then I’d probably give it a 5. Madison did share some fun facts that we didn’t get on the walking tour.
