Our tour guide, Eric, was super knowledgeable having lived in the community and worked the fishing industry all his life. He even sent out reminder texts w/ clear instructions where to meet. I really appreciated the van having a mounted ceiling monitor which showed pics of each site as we drove by esp since it was a foggy day. It also gave everyone in the van a clear view of each site regardless of where we sat. Eric also provided water and made sure the van was spotless inside and out. His lunch recommendations were also spot-on. Viator website made booking the tour easy and quick. Highly recommend!

Eric a guide was very engaging with everyone on our tour. He tells alot of dad jokes. It was really fun and extra special because we were able to see the sunset. I feel it would have been helpful if we went near the beginning of our visit just to have time to see somethings that were pointed out during the tour, however I like our Sunday afternoon there was minimal traffic. I am not one to review or believe reviews but this was The Truth
