When you come on a tour with me, I can show you the must see sites, as well as some out-of-the-way architectural gems that only a local like me knows about. I have researched local history quite extensively and am very knowledgeable.

We can arrange beforehand to focus on what you find most interesting: Architecture? History? Adobe construction? Fabulous views?
