Meh

DeniseM_G, Jun 2022

Nice enough tour guide. Just repetitive and boring. Not enough racy stories, mostly architectural info

Response from Host, Jun 2022

Great tour

Daniel_H, Jul 2020

Coming from Carrollton, Texas I didn't know any of the history that was presented to me. Our tour guide was very entertaining and full of history. One of the best tours I've been on.

We had a great tour of the Red Light District with Rob on a very cold night recently. Rob was informative and humorous. We all thoroughly enjoyed the evening!
