Very personable and made us feel very welcome and cared for. Great value for the cost. Two cocktails plus what ended up being a small dinner! Very nice! The ride was a lot of fun!”

“We were given the wrong meeting time for our shuttle pickup. It's not a two and a half hour tour It's 3 hours. We spent $40.00 in a taxi chasing down the " included " shuttle. Then at drop off the driver dropped off the riders in a different order so we had to take an Uber back, which is what we should have done to begin with.”

I inquired about a refund but h e not checked email to see if I have received one. We haven’t used the your because we were t able to enter.”
