Something different and cute - BRING A JACKET! Driving down the highway with no roof proved to be extra chilly. Pack something warm just in case. Great for older folks who can’t do walking tours.

Tour could be better - Tour guide was boring and couldn’t really hear what was being said. We were expecting a fun tour. Had to dodge a few branches. Sad cause we had high hopes for this tour.

Rained out event - Trip had to be canceled due to storms. The bus never should have attempted to leave knowing that storms were imminent. We all got soaked.

Never took the tour - A scam and reported to BBB and disputed the charges on my visa. Stay away from this company. It will just take your money and no service and they don’t even have a US phone number

Customer experience was not a priority. - When we arrived, right on time, they had already sold my seats that I had already paid for to someone else. Thy adjusted the passengers to get us on , but the guide had already started speaking. She never gave us her name ore asked if we could hear. We couldn't hear btw. She kept rambling on like she was mumbling to a friend. She didn't even stop when the helicopter was directly above us. I booked the tour to learn about the city but didn't get to hear anything about it. Seriously disappointed in the whole experience. 2/10 would not do again!

Unfortunate but overcharged. - Tried to contact operator due to the change in weather. Yesterday it was 91 degrees and humid. Today it started raining prior to our tour. It’s not right to charge 100 to my refund. It would have nice to have spoken to someone instead of being charged this full amount. I made the reservation just 6 hours ago. No one could predict this freak weather. Quite disappointed.
