The tour was very well executed and my husband and I were very impressed with the Covid-19 precautions they took. We opted not to return on the trolley and did a little walking tour in areas that we have not explored before. However we liked and appreciated the Tours itinerary.

Had a great time in the tour. The guide was knowledgeable, funny, respectful and so helpful with recommendations on where to eat sight see shop etc. Trolley was very clean and safe social distancing. Will be returning with my parents soon. I recommend it because it shows you a lot of the area in short time and then we know where to return .

This tour was just what we were looking for... An informational tour and something that wasn’t overly crowded. The length of the tour was just right and it was a great value, as you get a guided trolley tour and you get entrance into The Breakers. Troy was our guide - he was friendly and knowledgeable. He gave tips on dining and showed us some scenic spots for us to explore on our own later. He was always on time, the trolley was clean, and we were adequately spread out (for COVID purposes). The Breakers was also a site to see. Recommend downloading the app/bringing your own headphones for a self guided tour. The interior doesn’t really offer much information on what you’re viewing (no informational signs). The only bummer for us was my husband, who is just over 6’3”, was a bit uncomfortable in trolley (not a lot of leg room). Otherwise, we had a great afternoon! Highly recommend.
