Summary: We enjoyed the tour as a whole, the driver was very relaxed, humorous, and also knowledgeable about the areas he took us too. The directions to parking were helpful so we did not have to walk a long way. Please be aware of homeless in the area when you are on foot because you may be approached. The BBQ 'sample' was more like a meal and was very tasty. We chose to see the Rock and Soul Museum, it was great. However we didn't realize how much we would be getting on and off the bus and that the stairs were steep. This is not great when you have knee &/or hip issues, as elderly people in their 70s we were tired and unable to do any more sightseeing when we finished.
