Entertaining stories

We ended up on a tour by ourselves but sadly we had to bail early due to the heat/humidity. The guide was knowledgeable and theatrical and gave us a quick run through of what we were going to miss so we could explore on our own. Just sorry we had to quit early. We would definitely book again.

Family tour fun knowledge

Fun learning about history. Plenty of fun. The information given was based on fun facts, history, and cool movie facts. I would have loved to see where some other movie scenes were filmed
