Knowledgeable Narrators!!
Most of the narrators were super knowledgeable and even had unique stories to tell. We rode around a few times, getting on/off with different narrators, and were quite impressed with just about all of them!! The trams are kept clean and for the most part, everyone seemed to enjoy their job and very friendly!!
