This was a great tour. We had a family of four, including one teenager and one preteen. The pace of the tour was perfect for us. We enjoyed the mix of preset and optional activities. The tour took us to many places we could have likely found on our own, but also to some hidden gems that ended up being some of the highlights of our time.
