“Great tour! Fantastic guide. She was the best. Very knowledgeable, gave great historical context to what we were seeing. Answered all questions clearly. And she always made sure we were all aboard at each stop. Very diligent!! Our only criticism: The tour itinerary should have been adjusted to fit the ship schedule. She had to miss one of the stops to us back to the pier so we wouldn’t miss the ship departure. This wasn’t her fault.”

We shared dinner with two other families as well - great company and an evening well spent!”
