    The tour was fantastic. Sylvie was wonderful and so knowledgeable. My son was with us, and she made the tour very entertaining and accessible for him. I highly recommend this tour.

    Sylvia was wonderful! The level of detail of historic facts balanced with the real human stories and exposure to demonstrations was perfect. Sylvia is so knowledgeable and catered our tour for my mother who was using a scooter for the day. Sylvia was so knowledgeable, kind, and gave us more time than she should have! She was a delight! Sylvia should receive accolades for her touring abilities.
