Gracie, our tour guide, was just delightful! We ended up being the only ones on the tour since another couple cancelled, and she gave us a VIP tour. Very knowledgeable and wonderful personality. Highly recommend! The Fosters
We recently took the tour with Gracie and had a great time! She was so nice and really had a lot of great bits of information in regards to the area. She had a great relationship to the vendors where we stopped and made a point to tell us how she got to form them which was nice to hear. would recommed this tour!!
