Historic Walking Tour in the Charlestowne neighborhood
“Not impressed”
First of all, Mike was 10 minutes late for a 2-he tour. I had to call him to make sure he was coming. Secondly, we booked and paid for a private tour ‘only you and your group’. We chose this very purposefully. It is our preference. Imagine our surprise when the reason he was late was that he was picking up 2 more people. To be clear, the other couple were lovely. But not the point. Private does not include another couple. The tour itself was fine. I did not need to hear about the parties that he attends and how much they cost. We wanted the history. Not the present day. Then at the end of the tour, Mike puts the 4 of us in his vehicle in the heat of the day (not turned on), while he talks to someone. If you are looking for someone who name drops, talks about the prestigious parties and how much they cost, stops what he is saying and talks to other people outside the not-so-private tour, Mike is your guy. We book private tours all over the world when we travel. We love the personalization and are happy to pay extra. This was not at all what we ordered, messaged about and paid for. We are very disappointed.

(1 reviews)Obviously I'm very disappointed to see this revie. That said, everything included in my offering was included in this tour. As this person said the tour was "fine". It's important to understand that in my tour, amongst many other things I speak about what it's like to live here today and today we have some wonderful and generous people that raise money by entertaining. Much of this is done to support our preservation movement They do magnificent work and it's surprising to me that someone would be offended by hearing about it. Also, as a 25 year resident of this neighborhood I run into friends and neighbors during my tour and it would be considered rude to not acknowledge them as we pass. Again, it's surprising to me that someone would find that offensive. Finally, this is a beautiful wonderful city and it's my mission to help everyone understand how special it is. If anyone is unhappy with my tour for any reason I would absolutely support a refund.
