    Very interesting walking tour of this historic city. The walking was not too taxing, even on a hot August day. We learned a lot and highly recommend this tour.

    Jay was a very good host. He gave plenty of interesting facts & tidbits along the way. It was also good to be able to come in & out of the different places because it was a lil warm outside & the walk works up a lil sweat.
