Our tour guide was excellent the only thing was that at the beginning of the tour she didn't shout loud enough for us to hear her to follow her to the bus and luckily we went on our own and asked which bus was ours also where the tour starts would be nice to have some sign to let people know it's the right place to start

Steff was great. Loved the piano playing, singing and stories. He really made it fun. The demos on the tour were nice additions that we wouldnt be possible if we tried to do the trip on our own. thank you ! Great Job!
