This tour was wonderful! Our guide Matt was amazing! He was very knowledgeable of the area and extremely patient and kind. He made sure everyone on the bus was comfortable. Got to see way more than we expected and the views were breathtaking. Lunch on the beach was a nice touch and the ice cream at the closing of the trip was the best ice cream I’ve ever had! Highly recommend this tour!
Amazing Experience

BEWARE! Not requiring masks or vaccinations. Travel at your own risk.

Matt, our tour guide was fantastic and very knowledgeable, the bus was clean and inviting with the snacks and drinks that Matt provided for our trip.
I'm rating this a 2-star because this company does not require masks or that passengers on the bus be vaccinated. There was a couple on our bus who were not vaccinated and put us all at risk, including the driver. We wore masks when we learned that the other 2 on the tour bus were not safe. I learned to not get on another such tour bus unless I know that people are safe and wearing masks. Please review your HIPPA understandings. HIPPA prevents a doctor or health care professional to maintain confidentiality. A private company such as yours MAY AND SHOULD REQUIRE MASKS for the safety and protection of your clients.
Response from Host , Aug 2021
After consulting with the writer of this review, they have requested that the review be taken down due to the real source of contention being an overall concern in general about peoples refusal to get a Covid vaccine. It is not about our company, the guide nor the tour itself.
For the record, we follow all recommendations and guidelines put out by the CDC and the MDHHS to mitigate the spread of the Covid-19 virus and its variants.

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Sorting, ranking, and search results
Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
You’ll see some experiences with a “Promoted” badge, which means that the operators of those experiences have agreed to pay Viator more to have their experience highlighted.
If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period.
The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
