We just moved to Birmingham and took the opportunity of having family visit to schedule a tour with Clay. He was so much fun, and has a true love of Birmingham that is contagious. He quickly figured out our interests and kept us all entertained while taking us to places I know we would have never found on our own. Also, Clay was very business-like in getting the tour scheduled and making sure we knew the meeting point. We are looking forward to taking more of his tours around Birmingham.
