It was a fantastic tour, in the beginning no one was really interacting with one another, but by the end of the tour we were all friends having a blast if you catch what I mean. Highly recommended this tour.

Thank you David. We do find that on our public tours, people seem to make new acquaintances, even going out afterwards, and it's because of our unique seating arrangement where everyone can interact with each other. We hope to see you again on The Barrel Run.
