Jake was our guide and he was wonderful! Made it interesting and entertaining at the same time. Learned a lot of history, and visited many one of a kind spots we would have never known about otherwise just walking around. He took good care of us and was very professional while also being fun. Loved it! Thanks Jake!! (Also wondered if he found my Raybands at any of the stops we made.)
