Gord was the best, most knowledgeable tour guide ever! We had done some other tours earlier but didn’t learn anything. Gord taught us things we would not have gotten on some of the other tours.

Gordie was a fantastic host/tour guide. He was very personable and made the entire group feel connected. The tour was quite enjoyable and learning of the history of the various aspects of Nikoli Tesla and his inventions was quite enjoyable.

Very informative tour with a retired engineer that kept the info precise and simple enough for everyone to understand. Our guide, Deanna (sp), was very enthusiastic and eager to share her insights, both professional and personal, with our group. The tour was all we hoped for and more!
