This tour with Debbie is not recommended. Her energy was low, voice not that audible, would trail off and forget where she was at, was coughing and hacking, and had an injured arm she complained of every 10 minutes. The tour lasted 30 minutes longer than advertised and two people in the group wanted to leave before it was even over. The other two paid for an extended tour but declined the extension at the end. The potential for the tour is there but I wouldn't recommend it with this guide, unfortunately.

Plenty of stops and each was unique in itself.
