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.

Our tour guide, Kate was a pleasure. She took her time with each aspect of presentation and spoke clearly. She did not rush. She was knowledgeable and presented photographs to help in her presentation. She was prepared, on time and very welcoming.
