My husband and I found this tour through Trip Advisor. I was hesitant at first, but through research we did it seemed the best fit. This tour did not disappoint! We had Gwen as our tour guide and it was us and a father and son. Gwen made this tour personable, enjoyable, and he was very knowledgeable. I would do another tour with him and this company again!
