Nice way to spend a day - Alex was a very nice guide. It gives a good perspective about the town. The first part was about history and downtown, the second - more about what staff you can do here.

Very Shady Company - Very bad never picked us up never answered my texts when I finally got ahold of someone she said my 8 hour tour was canceled and I wasn’t even notified. If I didn’t contact them they would have taken my money. Do not book any tours with Aviator gray line tours a very shady company.
