My wife and I stayed in Spokane Washington last week for two days at the gorgeous Davenport Hotel. On both days we took different city tours conducted by Group Coordinators, located in Spokane Washington at 7424 N Lidgerwood St. Our first tour we took was the
" Spokane City Tour Past & Present ", where Group Coordinators, Inc. Tour Guide Janna Juday, lead our group on a wonderful, historical, and very informative tour about Spokane's colorful and rich history. We toured the city viewing and learning about Spokane's historic homes and attractions. Janna always had a beautiful young and bubbly smile on her face, as she answered everybody's questions in detail and spoke very clearly, as she guided the tour bus on a 3 hour tour the city of Spokane. We saw the Spokane River where the grounds of the former 1974 World Expo. are located. We also viewed historical Riverfront Park, Spokane Falls, Manito Park, Saint John's Cathedral, Steam Plant Towers, Japanese Gardens, and flower-filled Gaiser Conservatory and more. We also ascended up " The Hill ", where we saw panoramic views of the city and stunning mansions. We finished the tour by walking through Bing Crosby House, and viewing his memorabilia, on the campus of Gonzaga University. The next day my wife and I took the 2 1/2 hour " Downtown Walking Tour, For the Gourmet ". The tour was lead by Jan Juday, the mother of the guide we had the previous day Janna Juday. Jan led our group on a guided walking tour of the historic Davenport Arts District, where she combined art and history and brought in gourmet foods and wine tastings, at several restaurants and wineries. Jan told us stories about the history of the city of Spokane in the late 1800's and early 1900's, including the Great Fire of 1889 that leveled 32 square blocks of downtown Spokane. Jan's historical knowledge, and her detailed presentation of the city of Spokane was Fantastic !
My wife and I were in the Education profession for 35 years before we retired, and have lead 100's of student and adult historic educational tours around the United States. I can tell you that Jan and Janna Juday, the Mother and Daughter tour guides who work for Group Coordinators, are two of the very best I have ever witnessed.
