“Fun and informative - The tour was actually easy to find, despite my concern. Getting reminder text message with exact map location was very helpful. Our Uber dropped us off and we just had to walk across a small patch of grass to find our guide. Jesse was very friendly and knowledgeable. He made sure we were very comfortable on the scooters and was very encouraging. The tour was interesting and we covered a lot of ground - with a few stops to explore for a few minutes. Just overall a great experience and escape which would not have been possible on foot.” - Reviewed on 2024-12-09
