5.00An entertaining tour of the bay. Patrick was very well versed in his facts and history. He was so very entertaining with his presentation. The facts and trivia kept us all amused. The only disappointment was we had to leave and let a new group on . We would have spent the afternoon. I highly recommend the tour to anyone interested in the beauty and history of the bay. We have already shared our recommendations with friends coming this fall.
The best experience!
