Afternoon Delight

We were very impressed with our guide. He was so informative. Very delightful. We met another driver named Roger who was so helpful and friendly which made the whole experience even more memorable.

Disappointing….

Our experience was very disappointing. Our guide was very difficult to hear so we missed almost all the commentary. In observing other drivers, I noticed that they often turned around to speak to their passengers. Our driver did all of her talking facing forward, so we heard only one of every 3 to 4 words. It didn’t appear there was any effort to raise her voice so that we could hear We didn’t have the number of stops promised, and we never were able to feed carrots to the horses as advertised, even though they were carrots in the carriage. The political commentary thrown in from time to time which I found to be very distasteful. I paid for the “VIP tour” and certainly didn’t feel anything close to a VIP. Last time I took this tour, the driver took multiple photos of us throughout the drive. I left this one with three photos. Personally, I would not tour with this company again… Or at least not with this specific driver
