Mark the driver was very accommodating and knowledgeable. His caring started when I had written down the wrong start time for the tour, and he worked in a special stop to pick us up mid tour. Throughout the morning, he introduced us to places that I will definitely go back to see when I have more time, ie, Heritage Park. He even pointed out several restaurants to enjoy while in town. (Crown Burger made an excellent choice before a hockey game at the Delta Center later that evening.) Mark also took the time to allow our group to enjoy a pipe organ performance in the Tabernacle. All in all it was a great tour that I would recommend to everyone! It is a wonderful blend of history, current events, sightseeing, and, of course, the always expected jokes. Thanks, Mark!
