Very informative tour. It does require a fair amount of walking at monuments & may be unsuitable for people with mobility issues

Chris and Tyrone are an amazing team that work hard to ensure a positive and enjoyable experience. Tyrone’s extensive knowledge of the monuments is shared with bright humor. We truly enjoyed the bus tour portion of this experience. The boat tour was okay. While there was a narrative about the sites, it was pre recorded and difficult to hear. Overall, this was a fun and educational experience that should not be missed.

Drizzly and windy on the day we went on the cruise. Still enjoyable in spite of the weather. Friendly and helpful staff; recommend.

Rochelle, our guide, was great. Very knowledgeable about her city. Proud to talk about her city’s history. What was nice is that all of the guides had different stories which made our visit nice

Very unorganized and unprofessional. Pull up to a monument and we sit in the bus listening to the tour guide for 10 minutes and when we arrive at the location sitting in the bus. Don’t know why we couldn’t spend time walking to the monument eta while she was talking. Given wrong directions on which way to walk as well as the tour guide arguing and demeaning the driver over the intercom. Sally was not a very professional guide. Bus driver blowing through stop signs and forcing other drivers into oncoming traffic. Before the tour I even reached out and requested a specific driver or let me know so I could reschedule for Chris’s annd Tyrone but they were our guides and the company never replied to my inquiry. All in all very disappointed.
