“Wonderful tour! Our guide Frank was wonderful! Very informative and kind. He had such important information to share with us and he did so in a very engaging way. My only suggestion is that the tour would begin a little earlier, so it doesn’t get dark before it ends. Even though the sun set, we saw everything there was to see!! Highly recommend!!!!”
