report as inappropriateI love walking the city and have done multiple tours with the Architecture Foundation. This tour was fantastic. The docent was not only extremely knowledgable about the city, but he was animated and through in trivia questions that made the tour even more fun. He was also easy to hear. I would definitely take one of their tours again!
