It was a great tour, and it was really neat hearing the history of the town and the major influences of the city that we otherwise would have never heard. Mike was great and even made sure that we got back to our car safe at the end of the tour

Mike is insanely knowledgeable about the island I thought it was awesome that every bar we went to he knew the bartenders and we got immediate. Service. My favorite part had to be seeing the incinerator. It was sick AF.
