Super easy to follow, great narrating and if you get off track, you get directions to get back on it

I’m sorry, our walk was cut very short due to a pouring rain storm, so we went into the art museum. From the little we heard we think it would have been good fun.

The tour was very interesting and knowledgeable. It's for a walking tour, but we rode bikes and did just fine with it.

Very nice, lots of beautiful scenery and places to walk. We hope to be back soon and look around more. Countire forest was neat but the mosquitoes are terrible.

This park was amazing. We went to the art museum, then rented a paddle boat and enjoyed time on the lake in the early evening. It could not be more fun.

When we arrived at the Gardens and presented the information for the audio tour, the people behind the desk didn’t know what we were talking about. I showed them the paperwork and they called the manager and she didn’t know anything about it either. It was a waste of $10.
