Our tour guide Danny is an amazing person. She was more than accommodating on several occasions and we enjoyed the trip. I must however point out that the information on the website is a bit misleading and it does not cover some attractions that Danny covered during the trip; and so it is possible that you may run out of cash.

It was nice trip and tour guide Queena explained everything in detail. Itenary timings have changed, didn't show the attractions as per the details in taketours website. Also for cave of the winds only 75 minutes given which is very less time to complete. They have only 2 elevators and most of the time will go to stand in the line, at least 90 mins time required for cave of the winds. Update the website with correct attractions and days.

The tour was nice. They showed us most of the places on the tour. The tour guide Barney is very nice and helpful. The second hotel at Maryland was not at all great. They should provide breakfast. But it is worth the money
