I took this private walking tour with 3 other family members. Matt was our guide. While knowledgeable, it became clear when he walked in circles with a phone in hand, that this was a new tour for Matt. Having taken several other walking tours in the area, this was not conducted in the same manner. Matt walked and talked at the same time making it difficult to hear at times with traffic and other noises. Most other tours led you to a given space, then talked, and moved on. On this day the tour lasted 2 hours. Given the cost, I think you can do better elsewhere.

The tour covered locations I had not seen before and included facts I was unaware of. The must see Fords Theater is emotional. Our guide, Keshler, was very charming and well informed. Highly recommend.
