This walking tour was excellent. Kevin our quide was a wealth of knowledge. He showed us historical photos and spoke of what was occurring during construction and renovations. We were inside and outside. The architecture is magnificent. I really enjoyed the 90 minutes

Great tour! Very interesting and informative. I would have liked to have places to sit along the way since I am older and it's a long time to stand.

Our tour guide, Katherine, was engaging, funny, VERY knowledgeable, and just an overall great guide. My son and I thought we would only learn a few facts we had not known before, but we learned so much more! Thank you.
