Had an amazing time on the Inspirational Women walking tour with our guide Pam. From start to finish she was lovely, friendly and extremely informative. Pam was very engaging and even though we are local to the area, she shown us so many places and gave us so much information we were not aware of. She ensured the whole group were included throughout and made everyone feel so comfortable. She truly was exceptional! Would not hesitate to recommend the tour- and Pam- to anyone. Thank you!
