5.00Our tour guide, Roddy, was informative, friendly and helpful. His stories and facts made the drive go quickly, and we thoroughly enjoyed all our stops as well. So much history and beautiful scenery! The waterfall area was amazing, wish we had more time there. And feeding the cows was a fun end to the day. Would recommend!
Highly Recommend!!
