Daniel really loves this tour and his energy comes out. He tells us a lot but it was little lacking. He gave some interesting stories about the island but seem to putter out at the end.

Thank you for taking a tour with us. Daniel always does a great job, but talking for hours everyday sometimes takes its toll. He does have his days where he may not perform to his best ability, but we're very fortunate to have him on our team.
