What a great tour. We were going to book this tour through the cruise ship and so glad it was sold out. I went online and booked through M&M Tours. They were prompt in picking us up and there was only the 2 of us. We did end up running into the group from the cruise ship but since they had gold panned before us we were able to do that portion of the tour without them. We had Marianne (lucky for us the owner) shuttle us around and was actually gold panning with us and finding gold flakes for us. It was my husband's birthday and she gave him some gold keepsakes. What an amazing group of people who work at the gold mine. Awesome experience and over $20 each cheaper than the cruise line. Highly recommend!
