Melissa was our guide and she was amazing. She was better than I could have guessed. Melissa took her time to speak with the group and answer any and all questions. Melissa was a wonderful storyteller that took us back in history with our imaginations. My in-laws have lived in the area for many years and have taken family on other tours none as good as this.
