Fun trip!

5.00We had a wonderful tour with Derrick + Tony! We covered so much space and information in our 4 hours. The fun facts kept the attention of our kids and the humor was perfect for the adults! It was a great mix of driving and walking - the pace was also just right for our group! The AC bus and waters were so helpful with the hot weather! We would absolutely do this again!
