Paul_T, Sept 2023
First Class
Views were stunning both by road and the steamboat ride. Eddie and Troy were both excellent and made the trip that more enjoyable.

A perfect day!
It would be impossible to pick our favorite part. Our tour guide, Frank, was very knowledgeable and entertaining. Also, he was great with helping us with our groups sensitivities and allergies to a variety of foods. The steamboat ride was majestic! The restaurant in Tortilla Flat was really cool and I will be dreaming of their chicken tacos until we can get back there again. Absolutely delicious! The entire experience was worth every penny and more!
