Nathan was charming and full of the local knowledge that make these tours worthwhile. Of course, the tacos and beverages were outstanding too, not your run of the mill fare.

Hubby and I had a private tour guide who told us history and showed us interesting spots along w the tacos and drinks. It was a rare rainy California day so he even worked with us to change the tour time so we’d miss the heaviest rains! Alex was great!
