Guide was great and I learned a lot about butterflies on that tour. Group was small. The whole tour could be longer, but overall I was pleased.

A nice exhibit of local insects and four greenhouses of butterflies of different types and environments. Informative and friendly guides. The final section of road is very steep so beware.

Its not a place to spend the day but spending an hour was fun. Our tour guide really knew what he was talking about & everyone there was friendly.

The guide explained a lot of very interesting little things, the different gardens... very nice and interesting and after the tour we could go back alone and take our time.
