Tour guide Priscilla was knowledgeable and had photos and examples to show the group. The mosaics, glass domes, and building decorations were stunning. It was an unseasonably Hot day, & she took us on...

This was an excellent tour and Joan really knows her stuff! She was enthusiastic, personable, clear and friendly. I felt I learned a lot about Tiffany and the glass and the tour itself is a real WOW!...
