There are different routes of the city and you only go on one so you won’t see the whole city, but you will get a really good feel and find out what you would want to check out. Mike Hicks was the guide and Cash was our horse. Mike was super knowledgeable, has a great personality, and made it a fun experience. Cash the horse is very smart and follows all of Mikes direction when he speaks to him like a human! Great horse! Thanks for a memorable experience.
