The house has been completely restored and has central AC now. This was great as I was nervous with the heat it would be difficult. The tours start every hour and last about 55 minutes. The tour guide is very knowledgeable of the property and the history of the house. Tours are guided. There are two stories so you do walk up two different flights of stairs. Very cool tour. They also have 3 restaurants or pubs on the same block in preserved houses. Super cool historical tour.
