Walking Tour Reviews
August, 2023
My wife and I took the walking tour with Antonio yesterday and thoroughly enjoyed it. What a delightful and insightful tour guide he is. His enthusiasm for the history of Weston is catching. We have been coming to Westin from southeast Kansas for twenty years and yesterday was the most enjoyable visit yet.
Thanks, Antonio!
