“WOW!!! The tour guide Mark was excellent! He did a great job narrating the tour. His driving was amazing. He even had water bottles and snacks for us. This is defintley one of the smoothest tours I’ve ever been on. I wanted to go through some of the things others negatively pointed out in other reviews. The van was VERY clean. The driving was perfect (I don’t even drive in Seattle and I lived there 20yrs). The price is excellent for what you’re getting- minimum of a ten hour day, being dropped off at all the curates must see spots, not having to park a car, breezing through customs etc.…”
