“This was far and away the greatest use of my money on vacation. Our tour guide Nikki was knowledgeable and funny and made our tour great. She knew everyone at every stop and got us to the front of the line. I said I wanted to grab a cigars, she knew a spot next to a stop we had planned. She had thoughts on the rum, and engaged with my kids naturally and made it fun. CANNOT RECOMMEND ENOUGH!!!”
