The views are BEAUTIFUL! Expect to do some exercise, but having a guide like Michael will make it super easy! - The view of the skyline, sunset, and bat bridge were SO WORTH the journey! Our guide, Michael, was so informative and fun, letting our group (college girls on a Bach trip) have fun and still get to see the bats! He was very patient, funny, and encouraging when we would lag behind, get stuck, or mess around. We would definitely recommend fun or energetic groups to request Michael! Overall, the tour was a blast and worth every penny.
