Our guide Elana was very friendly and outgoing and encouraged interaction. The place she chose to have clients meet (the Gazebo) was a very nice outdoor area, however the staff were not very friendly and did nothing to acknowledge the Walking History and Wine Tour. Elana entertained with stories and historical facts; and her interest in acquainting her clients with wine establishments that weren't the more well known places frequently advertised on Front Street was a plus and enjoyed by clients that were both from in and out of the area. On a personal note, I would have liked to have learned a little more about various wines - her recommendations, etc. It was an easy walk and the stops at the wine establishments for a sip and chance to mingle was very nice. An enjoyable and informative tour that I would recommend to others.History and Architecture Tour was the best! Amanda is so knowledgeable and fun! Best thing we did in Wilmington.
