Rob our guide was amazing. So much better in the smaller group than the larger one with the ship after talking to other people.

The trip was fantastic from the beginning to the end. Mike was excellent and very knowledgeable. He made it a great day and even went out of his way to show us sites that was not on the itinerary. This tour was by far a better tour than off the ship and being a small group made it even better.

The day was well planned, and we saw everything listed on the tour. Beautiful day and operator made an extra stop for chocolate. Amazing day overall.
