Our guide, Gina was great. We were a group of 10 women and she walked at a reasonable pace and answered all of our questions . we met and began at the Franklin shops, which was a delight for shopping. Gina was personable, informative, and full of fun information about the past. I’d love to have been the telephone operator at that time. , I highly recommend this enriched tour and we plan on going back in the fall to do the haunted house tour.
