We had a wonderful time! James was a great guide and our kids loved the experience. One child is special needs and they were very accommodating.

We had a great experience from start to finish. My sweet mom needed a lot of assistance as she has some physical limitations and struggles. The guides were SO helpful & encouraging! Ashley was a fantastic guide & was never exasperated by the needs we had. The guides even made the bus ride fun. :)
Response from Host, Jul 2023

It was a great experience for our family. Our 3 kids (12, 10, 8) were very nervous before but Jack definitely made them feel safe. We are all ready for another ride!
