David was an excellent tour guide. Due to his years of experience leading the tour, he had a wealth of historical information and anecdotal stories that made it a superb experience. We had rain during our tour but it did nothing to dampen his or our enthusiasm. Beautiful homes and gardens. A morning well spent!
