Tyler was very friendly, engaging, and fun to interact with. Unfortunately, the mic did not work well and when you are in the back it was hard to hear him. We would have preferred a little more information at the different sights then just being dropped off to walk up to them on our own.
Thank you for sharing your feedback! We’re glad to hear that Tyler was friendly, engaging, and made the tour enjoyable. We’re sorry the microphone made it difficult to hear from the back, and we appreciate your comments about providing more information at each stop. Your feedback is valuable and will help us improve the experience for future guests.
We had a fantastic night tour of the monuments with Emily! Along with being a safe driver, Emily was cordial, knowledgeable and friendly. The tour had just the right mix of history and fun facts. Emily did a wonderful job explaining everything and answering any questions. She gave plenty of time at each stop and advised on available rest rooms. So glad we took this tour!

We loved this tour so much we did it twice during our stay. Primarily so our daughter could join us the second time. The evening ride on the e-cart was great. And we got to take in all the sites again with great family pictures.
