Heidi was very knowledgeable and friendly. Regardless of the temperature or the rain, the 11 people who rescheduled missed out and we got to have a wonderful time with your guide. The food choices were fun and unique. Heidi gave us backgrounds into the history of the Heights neighborhood and told stories of the owners of each restaurant. I would highly recommend any of the tours she is the host of.

Despite the unfavorable weather, this turned out to be a very nice food experience as well as a history experience as we learned about the origins of the heights and homes.
