Charles was an amazing tour guide! His history education provided a wonderful backdrop for the tour; he asked trivia questions that kept us engaged and seeking more information. He was respectful and made sure we had plenty of time to visit all the areas we were interested in. I would definitely hire Charles to be a tour guide anywhere!
