So that part sucked but when we got on the train I let Anna know and she was able to get that fixed up for me. The tour itself was great, Anna our tour guide was absolutely amazing. She was nice, funny, knowledgeable and honestly by the time the tour was over I felt like I made a new friend. It was technically a long day but it was a great way to do a little bit of everything…”
