Informative tour

David was a great tour guide, he knows so much about the area he has written books about it. He answered all questions and was welcoming. He showed us beautiful gardens and pathways we never would have found on our own. And he always found a shady spot to stop. Moderate fitness needed, there was a fair amount of walking and some uneven paths.
