Great tour with Mr. kid! - Mr. Kid was our tour guide and he took such good care of our group. It was a holiday weekend so everything was very crowded but he worked so hard making sure we were all okay and that we were treated very well. I’m so glad I picked the whole experience. I enjoyed everything we did. Mr Kid knows how to have a good time!
