    We walked to the tour location hoping to take an a/c bus tour only to find out they no longer offer it although it's listed on the website and signs posted at their stand reservation stand. Please update your website!

    Ms Penny and Rich were a hoot! Lots of interesting facts. And they welcomed our pups on the a/c mini bus. We would recommend taking this chill tour.
