    Good tour with good historical information. Unfortunately my friend wasn't in very good shape and we had to end our participation after about 1.5 hours so she could rest. This was really NOT a strenuous trip, however. We covered a lot of ground, saw a lot and there were two additional participants who were pleasant. Good and fun guide by the name of Richard.
