Michael was amazing. I wish he could have been our tour guide for the whole day. His energy, trivia games, level of engagement, and his "morning show" made it great. I was disappointed when we had to switch buses and go with a new driver. The new driver was nice, too, but Michael was top tier. Great tour. It was expensive, but worth it.
