" recommend it to everyone"
We had a small group and susan was our tour guide she was friendly and informative, she gave us enough time to soak in the locations and we all had drinks. She was the best! She had great stories and was personable, it felt more like we were a family or hanging out with old friends. Great tour, recommend it to everyone, even if they don't drink, the stories are worth it!
