"highly recommend!"
We thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Our guide was very informative and even took us to see some wild mustangs. It was nice to enjoy the ride and not have to worry about watching the rode. We had a better view out of the comfortable tour bus windows than we would have had in our car. Would highly recommend!
