We went on this tour... - We went on this tour yesterday. It was very informative, and our tour guide, Avery, was great! He was knowledgeable about the history and architecture of the buildings he took us to, and also made the tour fun with his endless supply of humor! My friend and my daughter also loved the tour as well. Would definitely go again!
