“Mark was a fantastic tour guide. It felt less like a tour and more like he was welcoming us into his family with Karen, Missy and the newest pup joining us. The seafood was delicious, the beer was local craft beer and excellent! It didn't feel scripted, just like a very wise friend sharing his stories and knowledge about the local beer, food and history of a town he so obviously loves. I appreciate that he took pictures and made a video for us because I didn't feel a need to take a bunch of photos myself, and could focus just on the experience and conversation with the small group.…”
