Great guide with extensive background. We really enjoyed the experience. I’d recommend for someone who enjoys history.
John_B, Mar 2023
This was a very interesting and informative tour. We left with a much clearer understanding of early (pre-Louisiana Purchase) days of the settlement during the alternating French and Spanish "swap-offs". The guide was very knowledgeable, well prepared and a good storyteller.
