Here's a review on Tripadvisor.com: "This tour is wonderful! Franklin is a beautiful, historic town worth seeing. The Franklin on Foot tour takes you into the details of the town's history - from funny, to heroic, to tragic, to amazing. Margie does a great job explaining how the various events happened and what the people were feeling back then. A morning tour, ending with lunch and a little shopping is the perfect way to spend the day. And everyone is gracious - going above and beyond to be welcoming and helpful."
