Amazing tour - Elizabeth was amazing! I learned so much in a short amount of time and had a great time doing it. It was great learning the histories of so many buildings we’d walked past, and she offered many recommendations for further places to check out. It was a wonderful experience and helped us have an even greater appreciation for this amazing city!
