Summary: Our guide was Steve Rossa. It was extremely knowledgeable and did not read a script. Steve asked us what we were interested in seeing and tailored our tour to our requests. WOW!!! I did not expect to get a history lesson in addition to seeing how the different factories have become housing. Steve even passed out a list of great restaurants to try. Highly recommend this company for your tour! Whether you are new to the area or have lived here all your life. So fascinating.
