Well run, and very well priced. Professional tour guide was knowledgeable and the tour boat was very clean.

We saw everything we had expected to and learned more than anticipated. The only point not explained beforehand was the parking situation

Can I reserve 4 seats for the 11 am tour on Tuesday, July 10th? Or can I buy them at the time I arrive??? Thanks, pam

If I remember correctly, I called ahead and purchased the tickets before I arrived. July is prime tourist season and the boat probably holds 100 people, so I would recommend buying the tickets before you arrive.
