Would Do This Again and Absolutely Recommend - I was worried about this as I am not good at directions or trivia...But, this was AWESOME! The instructions were very clear & between each question we learned about the history of the places we visited! It also points out restaurants and restrooms along the way. There were so many places I was hoping to visit & this walking tour took us to all of them! You are able to pause the walk at any time & it saves your progress so that you can go eat, use the restroom, or save the rest of the walk for another day. I will say, we are older & our feet & hips were hurting by the end of the walk, but we both were having so much fun, we didn't mind! Note to Walking Tour Creators: directions were great with only one exception: the 'blue' metal art is brown in the Towns Place Wharf
