5.00The amount of time for each site is perfect if you like to keep to a schedule. The pick up and drop off is also great because you will feel tired at the end. For the price of two we crossed a lot of things off our list! Our tour guide Dale for Dale’s Kool Kat’s was funny, very informative about the area and right on time!
