Cassie was a an energetic tour guide, engaging her customers in questions and answers. She truly appears to love what she does. It is amazing her historical knowledge and compassion. Cassie willingly made sure to help everyone take memorable photos at each stop. Kris was our excellent driver, helping with a wheelchair at every stop for a customer, ensuring we were drinking plenty of water in our 92 degree tour day. It also was very wonderful to get back on the air conditioned bus after each stop.

The tour was perfect. The torture guide, Tyrone, was amazing. He was so knowledgeable and had many unique facts to share. He was funny. My three children (ages 5, 13, and 15)and I were all very impressed. He even captured wonderful family pictures at multiple landmarks. 10 out of 10 would recommend! Being offered bottled water was a plus!

The tour itself was fantastic and our guide, Cassie, was very knowledgeable. We were very disappointed that we were not picked up at our hotel as promised. We had to Uber at the last minute which was stressful and costly. Sadly, Sally at the office did not pass along the message to the driver to pick us up, nor did anyone pick up the phone when we called to inquire about it.
