Courtney Glover
Captain Ty was the perfect host for our team event! We had a great time. Loved the history and humor, but especially the flexibility of making the evening meet our needs.
Sheree Smith
Today's tour was with family from Arizona to celebrate a 70th birthday. Captain Tyler made this event extra special. His commentary of the area and response to our questions showed superior knowledge. The weather was perfect for our 3 hour tour and everyone agreed this was a must do again activity. Thank you Captain Tyler.
