5.00Jay was a great tour guide! Jay was punctual and accommodating to all of his tour attendees. He provided a great balance of engagement and detail so the tour did not feel overbearing, while also providing freedom and flexibility to explore with my partner (Jay was also happy to take photos for us too). The tour also covered admission fees for the multiple activities that kept us entertained and allowed us to focus on the entertainment rather than waiting in line. Thanks again, Jay!
