5.00Such a great trip! I’m sorry to say I can’t remember our narrator’s name but it was the 1:00 tour on 5/8. He was so informative and so funny! Please Carrie B make sure he gets credit for making our tour exceptional! The entire staff was great! So friendly and welcoming! We will do this again!!!!
Clean the Men’s Room

4.00We were on the first tour of the day, so there is no excuse for a filthy-smelling men’s room. My gag reflex was intense, but I really needed to urinate so I placed a paper towel over my nose and took shallow breaths. There are chemicals to clean bathrooms, so there is no excuse for what I experienced. However, the tour itself was awesome.
Horrible
Dale C,May 8, 2026
- Review from Viator
2.00It was a horrible experience because they allowed two dogs to be on the boat which the lady said right in front of me the dogs were trying to chase the birds that was on the boat, which I was very offended by sometimes people have allergies. I don’t like animals traveling with me. I just thought it was shameful cause if I would’ve known that, it was OK for animals to travel I would’ve never booked you.
A must see
