“We enjoyed our tour. Lots of great information and interesting facts about the history and famous people associated with the cemetery. The one negative review we had was that our tour guide talked so quickly it was hard to understand him. He knew his information, and tried to make the tour fun, but we lost a lot of good information because he talked so quickly we couldn’t understand.”
