“Scott was a wonderful and knowlegable guide. He balanced humor with history and it was greatly appreciated. The great thing for us is that due to the amount of walking and having mobility issues Scott brought food to us where we were sitting so we did not miss out on anything. We told him not to worry because we anticipated we might have that issue but he would not let us miss the fabullous food we tasted. He totally understood that not all of the group was as slow as us and made it still a fabulous experience.”
