Our tour guide, Mike, was absolutely pleasant! He was knowledge about everything on our tour and more. He was able to answer any of the random questions that came up. He was also a great driver, no complaints whatsoever. This was a wonderful tour in general. We got to see the countryside, small towns, and the historical locations. We had a decent amount of time at each stop and felt like we really got our money's worth.
