Despite growing up in this area, there were many things that I had never learned until I took this tour. Katie's ability to bring these historical figures to life is truly remarkable, and I highly recommend her. I am eagerly looking forward to taking her other tours in the future!

It was an amazing experience with Daarel. He was truly exceptional and passionate about the subject. I gained a wealth of knowledge about my city and community through this.

Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and informative. She clearly has conducted extensive research on the topic and her expertise was evident throughout the discussion.
