“Our guide Maura was very knowledgeable about the history of the Era and area. She had a passion for the subject and it was evident that she enjoyed what she was doing. We were very appreciative for that as opposed to someone who just recited dates and places. Highly recommend this tour and if you're lucky Maura will be your guide!”
