5.00This turned out to be a great experience...so much more than just a bus ride! We were not expecting any kind of travel or history information and we got lots of both from our guide. She also led us right to the ticket booth and was so informative! I would totally recommend this if all you really want to do is go to Olympia and walk around for a couple of hours!
Must-Do at Port!
