“Edward was our guide and he was fantastic! Great at explaining everything and loved a good joke along the way. Made sure we got a good photo at both stops as well. He also provided some snacks and water during the trip too which was an unexpected added bonus! The time frame for each stop was perfect for us, wouldn’t have wanted any less or more. The bus was in great condition too and the perfect amount of people on the tour”
