2.00Sorry, I would like to give them a better review but I can't. It wasn't awful, it just had room for improvement. The entire experience was only worth about half of what we paid ($130 for 2 persons). It lasted 50 minutes for a promised 1hr tour. I totally understand it isn't always in their control but the certainly could have stopped and given more narration. That was what we were paying for. Maybe it was because we were their last run of the day. The driver was obviously knowledgeable but she took one big breath then dutifully and unenthusiastically spoke into a 2 inch battery operated speaker, overmodulating the entire speach. She was also prone to babbling to herself and no one could tell what she was saying. The ride itself and carriage were roomy and clean, it was just the rest of the presentation that was lacking. They could do much better for the amount paid.
