Traveler Reviews

It was well narrated and very informative. I really enjoyed it and I plan on taking other similar tours in the future.

The sights were wonderful to see but the listening devices did not work. There were 6 in our group and we all had problems. The batteries died 1/2 way in. After changing the batteries they still did not last through the tour. Some did not pause but kept running before you got tobthe next site. Two of our friends just gave up listening after a while.

Unable to log on with no help from customer service. We gave up and never took the tour. Could not get a refund.

I really enjoyed the tour learning a lot of information and the tour guide even had me smirking— I was disappointed when I was told I had to buy part two to finish walking the trail either I missed it in the description or it wasn’t explained.

I went with my mother and 2 sons (12 & 10years old) The tour was informative and entertaining. We learned so much and it kept all our attention. Highly recommend
