Our guide was an amazing tour guide! We highly recommend him for this tour. He was very captivating and I wanted to listen to every word he had to say. He was very informative and gave us great detail. We had our 19 year old son with us and he enjoyed the tour very much, too. I would do this tour again and recommend it to my friends for sure.
