    Our guide Janda was personable, funny, and knowledgeable. We enjoyed the tour, our favorite part was the old train tunnel and seeing the beautiful historic homes. We did pay for the extended 90 minute version and it was only 60 minutes long which is why I am docking 1 star.

    We liked the history stories ! She was funny about the airplanes. I thought the ghost stories would be better. This is silly requiring more characters to submit the review …

    The tour guide changed the meeting location and did not check for missing customers who were at the original directed location even though it was less than 200 yards from where she was. Where I come from it is common to make sure the customers are with you, and to change the location of the place to meet at the last minute and not check the other place is very bad customer service. When asking for a refund, it was denied telling me this is not a customer service focused organization.
