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.

Our family of parents and two sons aged 19 & 21 really enjoyed our guide Stephen’s tales … basically make sure you are rich and you will probably get away with it !! You don’t walk as much as some other tours we have done.
