Tim was absolutely lovely! He was a great tour guide with a wealth of history, knowledge, and humor. He didn't rush us at each stop and made the whole day super enjoyable.

Karen was a wonderful guide for a long, interesting tour. She never lost her enthusiasm for telling us about the sites we visited even though the tour was over 12 hours. The tour included so many interesting sites and experiences and traveling in the 16 passenger van was comfortable.
