We were a party of 6 including a 4 year old and a 97 year old. This was an excellent and entertaining tour! Daniel was a very knowledgeable about the history and told many interesting stories. I did think that charging $21.00 for a 4 year old was excessive but they did provide a "goody bag" with toys and a coloring book.

We are delighted that you enjoyed the tour and it was incredible to have so many generations from the same family together on a tour. In regards to charging $21.00 for a 4 year old. Our prices reflect limited seating on a 12 seater van, that we cut off and eight and during these times currently, six is the maximum allocation of people on any one tour. If you book online there are regular prices, military / senior and children prices. We have taken note of your observations and reduced the children discount to $15.00 for under 16 years of age. This price also includes the "goody bag" you mentioned in your comments. Thank you again for your feedback which gives us invaluable insight into our customers needs. Always a pleasure to serve.
