This is the BEST tour I have ever taken and I’ve taken a lot of of different tours! Joe was so articulate and informative. I thought I knew a lot but he added so many little details of facts that I never knew! He was very patient and answered all of our questions in such a kind way. Next time I have people in town I’m going to take this tour again because it’s something I will want them to experience.
