Leigh was a superb guide. Her knowledge and the stories she told made the tour a highlight of our trip. Over the 3 hour tour, we were each hanging in her every word.

What a waste of $300! The guide was unorganized and mumbled. No one could hear her. We bailed midway and learned more on our own. Save your money!
