Totally satisfied and captivated - Great guide and tour. Lots of history and knowledge of the subject and always keeping tabs of what’s going on and when and with whom. Personality was awesome. The way she dressed for the occasion was awesome. The character made it so much more. Loved the whole thing. Would do it again next time we come down.

10/10 things to do that’s affordable - Elizabeth was great! Her history & story telling kept the trip alive & involved. Highly recommended! Only thing is, I wish they would allow you to add a tip on the end of your ticket purchase because not everyone carries cash anymore & tips aren’t given when they should be.
