“I liked this guide a lot. She was funny, informative and frank. There was a strike at the ticket booth and she had a plan B ready and she had someone print tickets nearby and ran them over quickly. When we got in, there were a lot of people frustratingly waiting and we walked right in. She gave a history and information and then we went to explore on our own. I would recommend it.”
