Nice and early start @ 7:15am. Our bus driver, Todd, was very funny, kind and accommodating to all passengers. Out on the set tour guide Matt was very friendly and knowledgeable. He was more than happy to have a chat with my 9 year old son. You could tell that he loved his job! If you get the chance to visit> just do it and book the package with the includes drink and mega feast! Our family loved the food! You will not regret!
