As one reviewer noted on May 25, 2024:

Great way to see a lot for a good price - A great way to see the island. Covered a lot of the island. The areas we stopped at were great. The traditional lunch stop was a great experience. It could have been a bit earlier.

This journey through history is not just about seeing the sights; it’s about feeling the pulse of the island, understanding its roots, and connecting with its soul.
