Great guide and experience seeing the city I live in. - Great architecture and history lessons as we walked around downtown Raleigh and the Oakwood district. The guide was able to answer questions about a lot of the houses along the tour. Only suggestion would be to make it longer, as there is so much interesting architecture in the area.
