Our guide Keara is fabulousssssssss. She timed the tour well, went to great lengths to ensure we were comfortable (found places for us to sit, stopped at water coolers, ensured she found shade!) and had all the facts but her storytelling and humorous style brought it all to life! Love it! DO NOT MISS! :)
