Bonnie was an amazing guide - keeping the tour active even though it was just myself and my partner! We loved all of the drinks and info, and Bonnie met us where we were comfortable in terms of COVID protocols. Even my partner, who’s not a huge history buff, loved the tour. Will be recommending her and her tours to any future visitors!
