Great Cruise Excursion
I wasn’t looking forward to Olympia originally, but this excursion changed my mind! Kristo (not sure if that’s the right spelling lol) was awesome! He was friendly and made personal talk with everyone! You could tell he enjoyed his job! The winery was “chefs kiss”! The owner and her daughter were sooo sweet and we loved every minute of it! At Olympia we had the best guide! She was so stylish and knew her stuff! She told us sooo much about Olympia and she made it come to life!
