Great experience would recommend - Guide was very informative and did a good job of the history of the town and must see places. Very thorough tour with a lot of walking and some wine/moonshine tasting was the added bonus.

Good, Could Be Better - The tour seemed lackluster for the amount of walking involved. There was very little content during the tour, and felt more like a 2 hour walk workout. It could be better with more direct storefront involvement and activities.
