I really enjoyed this tour! Michelle, our tour guide, was absolutely amazing!!! She was knowledgeable, entertaining and extremely friendly! She was the best!! And on the paddle boat, Jordan did a terrific job!!! There was a huge issue that would make me rethink doing this again. There were not enough seats for all of the people aboard the boat. I’m not sure who is responsible for this but that is not right. There was an elderly couple that my sister and I offered our seats to. All 3 levels of the boat were filled! There was nothing they could do but stand the entire time, and there were several people doing this. This was very disappointing! There should be a seat for every ticket sold!!
