Our tour guide, Sarah, was magnificent. She explained everything very well, gave us incredible facts and answered every single question we had with a smile. She was extremely enthusiastic and passionate. We loved having her as our tour guide and having her take us everywhere, making sure we were comfortable and trying to accommodate any request we may have had. It was an amazing experience. We truly cannot recommend this tour with her enough.
