“Tour guide told a coupe of cute stories--but front door on bus didn't work, making it very difficult for my handicapped wife to get off and back on during the 6 stops.

“We were sent a meeting place, and evidently it was changed, but we were not notified. Luckily, we left early and we were able to backtrack and catch the bus. Also, we were not told that the audio would be from an app from our phone and we did not have Earbuds with us nor was there Wi-Fi available on the bus. The driver was excellent and because of the confusion with many people, he tried to give us a little narrative on the way home. The scenery was very pretty.”
Every kind of day out, and the best of each.
