Awesome experience! I don't know how we got so lucky, but my party was the only one on the tour. This made the experience much more intimate and engaging. Rick Heimann is an excellent tour guide. He was very knowledgeable on the city's history. He encouraged and answered questions. He took some great pictures of us and more. Secondly, the food was amazing. The spots that we sampled were all delicious. Mari Mari being our absolute favorite. Not to mention, I was actually full after the tour. Thankfully, I brought my appetite.

Great insights into the different founding fathers

I was in an 8-person group and I was very impressed with the knowledge about events and esp key people of the revolution our guide had. He created the tour very lively, not just listing one date after the other and he tried to give us more insights into the men who wrote the Declaration of Independence and our constitution and who would become presidents after Washington.
