Dee was amazing and incredibly informative! She was a wonderful tour guide and made the entire experience enjoyable. Highly recommend!
Nice tour. The first cart was comfortable but the tour start was delayed as the other guests wished to have the old fashioned cart. Tour guide. Dee, was very knowledgeable and friendly. She obviously enjoys this work and made the tour more enjoyable!
Well worth it. You learn about many places you want to visit and wouldn’t have known. So go on the first day. Dee was a great and helpful guide. So glad we got her as our guide.

Lorenzo was a fantastic guide! Loved the stops, loved the small cart experience! Highly recommend this!
Dr Cook was a good guide with lots of historical facts & knowledge. Just wish it was a bit more entertaining, lighthearted or humorous to keep things interesting as we went along. My husband was falling alseep when he was talking about the Capitol building for 30mins. Great views and ride tho! Lots of stops for pictures.

Our guide Ellen, was very knowledgeable and engaging. She made sure that even the 15 y/o was into the tour. She was asking questions and he was responding, and same with my 88 y/o mom. We had a variety of ages on that car and she made sure that we all enjoyed ourselves and we had the best time and learned so much and enjoyed the entire trip.
