A MUST !!! - This was our top tour of our trip and we did 27 things. Highly highly recommend. It was raining on first half of our ride but didn’t even matter. We had a blast !!! My wife that was scared / nervous about all the other tours loved this one the best and would do it again anytime. Highly recommend to purchase the photo package after. Very high quality and shots taken. Worth every penny.
