Great Tour - I had a great time, my tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and shared memorable stories, childhood memories and had personal connections to the places we visited. I recommend this tour to those looking to try something new. Friendly note, bring a bottle of water and wear comfortable shoes.

A beautiful walk. - A fun and informative walk. James was extremely knowledgeable about the murals and artwork. I only wished for a sunny day to reflect off all the glass and mirror to really make the artwork shine.

An amazing, personal experience! - Give this man a raise! Our tour guide was Chuck, and if you're planning on booking this tour, book w him. What a fun person to teach us about the arts in this amazing town. His back story and life was integrated into the tour...he lives close by, so he knew the townspeople, and he went out of the way to make our tour special and different, really tailoring it to our family's interest. Great job, Chuck! You're an awesome guy and are truly a gifted teacher and communicator! Highly recommend!
