Patrick_F, Apr 2024

Our driver Chris was very friendly and informative. He was great at answering questions and knew almost everything about the sites we saw on our tour. We had booked for two couples but one couple ended up sick the morning of the tour. The tour company was gracious enough to understand and gave us a refund for the couple that was unable to attend even though it was after the refund period. I would highly recommend this tour as the whole experience was great!
