Great tour! Very informative, Kathryn knows her MB history! This was the 2nd tour we’ve taken with her and plan to take her other tours too!

I loved learning history I had never heard anywhere else before. I hope to bring my son on this tour someday, as I have finally found something at the beach that will hold his interest. His caregiver will be visiting the beach next month, and I have already sent her information about the tours so...

Comfortable trolly car, knowledgeable tour guide, great tour of the city in addition to learning about the history of the region. Disappointing that the German POWs were so embraced by the community considering what made them POWs in the first place!!
