Cristin was our bus driver and tour guide. She was certainly knowledgeable and helped us get great pictures of spots, we even stopped for food along the way and on the way back. Amazing trip and the tour guide made it even better!

First of all, the bus was clean. Our tour guide and driver, Debbie, was a delight. Not only was she a good driver (I felt very safe), she was very informative, nice, and a very lovely person. She kept us well informed of the itinerary/schedule, what to do and not to do (so we didn’t miss the bus), ensured the bus temperature was comfortable, provided us with bottled water, and made sure we had a positive experience. She stopped at many breathtaking views. I had a wonderful time and loved the tour! Thank you, Debbie!

I do not have direct experience with Gray line for this tour. However, they made sure the transfer of our tour to their partner company was seamless.

Really 4.5 stars! Jerry , our guide , was a gem. Knowledgeable, great info and commentary. Really enjoyed him. The pickup location st the wharf, being a single person was a little bit scary so early in the morning, but safe none the less. My only area of concern was the temperature of the bus. It was as low as it could go but still was 98...way too hot. Small issue in a day I thought was good value and an all-round great experience
