Our tour was great. Our guide, Leanne, was very knowledgeable and fun. She provided a lot of interesting history about the area, including a video about the Shag! We would definitely recommend this tour.

Elizabeth_V

LeeAnn was above and beyond a typical tour guide. She drove us around for 4 hours filling us with lots of history and taking photos of us along the way. She was a true delight. And added in a few extra attractions that were not on the itinerary.

The our guide was very knowledgeable. She had a beautiful high tech, comfortable van and we had a great time! We would highly recommend!

Teresa_H

We very much enjoyed seeing the out of the way spots and popular places that are blended into this adventure. The ride was informative, comfortable and overall enjoyable. I think this could be an all day adventure instead of half a day since there is just so much to take in but it was absolutely worth it and we would definitely do it again.
