No pictures from Saturday's tour, but WOW! A lesser man might be embarrassed by the TripAdvisor review:
Great tour!

The tour was great! Patrick is very knowledgeable, friendly and interesting. I love "feet on the ground" tours because you get so many more intimate details that you never see or notice while driving. We saw so many enticing eateries, boutiques, architectural delights, major Rochester attractions. I will definitely be returning to the area to spend more time there. Tour is donation only, give what you think it was worth - probably the best two hours I've spent in Rochester since I moved here.

Enjoyed the companionship of this beautiful family from L.A. Our weather is a bit different from what they're used to, but it didn't get in the way of a fun tour.
