Summary:
The pick-up was fast, the ride was comfortable, and the scenery was unbelievable. The guide kept the mood light but educated, and each stop seemed properly planned. Taking us back to the ship on schedule was no issue. Enjoyed the little perks such as the bakery stop, and in all honesty, this made the whole day in port effortless.

Summary:
Our guide Valerie made history come alive without overloading us with dates. The bus was tidy and had air-conditioning, which was especially welcome as it was hotter than anticipated. We enjoyed a good amount of time to view the attractions. The pick-up and return were trouble-free, so we didn't worry about reaching the ship. I also appreciated that there was a brief bakery drop-in so we wouldn't starve.
