Great Tour I took the tour with my 2 grandsons, and while the temperature was unforgiving we totally absorbed with our guide (Lonnie). Lonnie was extremely detailed and answered all of our questions. As expected it was very informative 👍🏽. I would highly recommend it. Next year I will take it again.
