Great evening. The tour guide Aerille was great and answered questions the group had. The 3 stops we made were all so different and really good in their own ways.

The tour itself was fun and fascinating. Pur tour guide was very knowledgeable and easy going. The 3 venues were great and service was spot on. It was a perfect activity for my wife's 40th birthday with a group.
