WASTE OF YOUR MONEY

Our experience started with the tour guide, who parked in front of the building and told us the same story four different ways. Then we went inside the church, and he repeated the same information again. About 75% of the group was rolling their eyes. He was the only one laughing at his own jokes. At one point, a couple even asked, "Are we stuck with this idiot?" I think my husband summed it up best. He said it was like a haunted house where everything is unorganized, but they try to act like it's not.

TCM the best

If you are an old movie buff... You will love this tour. Hopefully your guide will be Craig. Having taken the regular tour 3 years ago, this one really gives you the flavor or old Hollywood and how films were made.
