Great day in the City, good beers and good stories - The guide/driver/host was awesome! He really made the trip with his factoids and stories that accompanied the drive and stops along the route. Even with some annoying people from Miami on the bus, he still made it a great time. The stops were fun, each one was different than the others. Well worth the time and money would recommend to anyone!
