Highlighted reviews from other travelers
M was a great tour guide - extremely engaging and very self aware in terms of acknowledging the heat - he didn’t make us stand in the sun for more than we had to, which was much appreciated!
Angela was amazing! She was very knowledgeable and entertaining. She was so sweet with my teens/preteen and kept them engaged for the entire 3 hour tour. Highly recommend!
