If I could give more stars, I absolutely would. Peyton was our guide and she nailed it! Funny, friendly, and informative - I could not have asked for a better guide. Food was great! My mom is 81, and we were a little worried about the walking part of it, but it was fine for her too! Enough breaks and a slow enough pace. Please go!!
Peyton was a real trooper. It rained for the first half of the tour but she carried on!
We had a blast! Food was great and Baylor was an excellent tour guide. She was a fantastic storyteller and provided a great experience!
