Our tour guide Logan was...

Our tour guide Logan was lovely. It turns out, we were the only ones on our 8:30 Thursday morning tour, which made for a very relaxed experience and a personal introduction to the whole area. We very much enjoyed learning from him, as well as his tips on where to be for various activities ND what we might want to explore after the tour was over.

Fun and insightful tour

Me and my friends had a great time. Our tour guide was named Jennifer, and she did a fantastic job at leading us around the park and the attractions. We started our tour directly outside the park, and she was constantly giving us plenty of information and fun facts throughout as we explored. She did a great job at managing our time and experiences throughout the day. She even gave us recommendations for both fun things and restaurants to visit after the tour. It was well worth the money, and I would recommend this tour for anyone. Highlight of the trip for me was going on the maid of the mist ride.
