Allie was a fabulous tour guide! We were the only ones on the tour and she created a personalized experience for us with tons of information on the area, the plants and animals, and the history. She took great pictures of my mom and I and made sure we were safe, including adjusting the pace and path to make sure my mom was comfortable. So much fun and beautiful space. Plus Allie gave us a bunch of other recommendations for other sites. And she communicated often and clearly leading up to our meet up.
