Experience was really nice. Drivers were both great. Tom was very knowledgeable about the island and gave us so many details

Loved it

Beverly_S, 31-10-2022

Learning the history, the structures and that the people are very nice. The drivers were great explaining everything. And took care of our needs.

Not worth the money to add the island tour

Tina_k, 06-11-2022

Took the additional island tour. Not worth the money. You are in a large group on a school bus for hours. You get out a couple times for a picture. Otherwise the tour is just driving by things so fast hard to see. Driver Jennifer to ferry was awesome! Tom the guide was great.
