About this experience

Our private tour is an excellent choice for guests who want a more personal, comfortable, and memorable experience. Our guides are friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely personable — we love sharing the stories, history, and hidden gems of the area while making every guest feel welcome and relaxed. Because it’s a private tour, we can move at your pace, answer questions along the way, and create a more engaging experience tailored to your interests.

Travel is also part of the experience, which is why we use a very comfortable high-roof van for large groups. A luxury minivan may be used for groups of 4 or less if the large van is booked.
