We received a call at 5:38 p.m. advising us our tour guide had been hit in the face with a softball, and was headed to the ER. The guy said we could either reschedule or get a refund. Since we were leaving town the next morning, rescheduling wasn’t an option, so he said he’d issue a refund. Now I’m getting blasted with emails and texts to rate an experience I’ve never had, and I still don’t have a refund. I’m giving this two stars right now because the notification was timely enough for us to figure out something else to do with our evening, otherwise it would be one star.

Bella was a great tour guide! She was super nice and very knowledgeable. It was a small group tour so we were able to customize our experience based on what we wanted to do. Sunset was a unique time of day and way better than in the blazing heat.
