It was nice to have someone else doing the driving and pointing out and telling about places of interest. Unfortunately, 2 people got on with us for the whole tour who were wearing their masks down below their noses and they were NOT told to pull them up. We should not have taken this tour because we felt anxious the whole time. We were spaced out so, hopefully, we will be okay.

You could have exited the trolley with a full refund prior to the tour if you didn't feel safe. We go above and beyond all state Covid guidelines as indicated in other reviews.
