We had a tour with Chris Rebmann and Stacy was our driver. We were entirely impressed with the wealth of knowledge. Next time we are in the area, we'll definitely book another tour. The kids were a little disappointed that we weren't on the double decker bus but I have a feeling those sell out quicker. Thank you Chris and Stacy!
