This 90 minute tour along the river is very informative but can be uncomfortably chilly on cooler days so dress appropriately. No complaints about the tour as everything pointed out was architecturally relevant. It is an excellent afternoon, probably enjoyable more than once. More

Wow! We had an excellent CAF volunteer docent on our boat tour today. Highly recommend this 90 minute relaxing tour, especially on a beautiful sunny day. More
