Great little walking tour with a lot of history and fun facts

Kay was great. Clear communication prior to meeting. She has so much knowledge and can easily customize what you're looking to learn abou this beautiful city. Walking is definately the best way to see the city. Only wish our tour could have been longer but our time didn't permit.
