We live in Florida, booked online several weeks prior. Had a number of trips planned in addition to this one. Our time was 9 am, on the way there, someone called asking where we were, stating we were on our way, she explained that they had text us the night before, supposed to be there 45 minutes prior. NOPE!! never got a text, only our printed document saying flight time was 9 am. In short, pilot, Andy, was excellent, staff was nice... but why don’t you put the critical, required info in the ORIGINAL document. It’s so simple... or here is a thought, why not put “ heh, gonna call you day prior”!! Lady on the phone was quite rude.

This was just the right price and just the right amount of people with only 12! Other tours along the way had much larger groups foe more money. We stopped at many beautiful vistas and and learned much along the way. Ryan and his adorable wife were perfect escorts and fun was had by all. We rented a car a later day and followed nearly the same route but took our time and stopped at additional places which time would not allow on the tour. I definitely recommend this smaller tour which was priced better that the others.
