Great Tour and Tour Guide - We booked this tour last minute. I am so glad we did. We had Elizabeth as our tour guide. She was amazing. She made the tour fun and interactive. She offered a lot of information in an interesting way so that you did not become bored. We had children in our group and they were very engaged/attentive. Elizabeth is an awesome tour guide. The Tour was 2 hours long and fun the whole time.
