“This tour was wonderful! Ended up being a private tour which made it even better. Our guide was great at keeping both our kids (8 and 15 years old) and the adults engaged and interested. Her knowledge and love of the subject was very clear. Only recommendation would be to offer a 10 minute break in middle of the tour for a chance to sit and rest in the shade with a drink/snack. It was extremely hot when we visited and after 2 hours we could have really used a break in order to be able to better enjoy the last part of the tour. Otherwise, highly recommend this tour!”

“We won the lottery with Roberta! From minute one she was able to captivate our group of six kids aged 3-13 through gamifying the experience. We did the later tour (1:30) which allowed us to take our time with the train getting there and the big morning crowds had left. Truly cannot imagine doing this with kids without Roberta and her magical ways. Thank you!”

“Our tour guide was great! We are a family of 5 with kids ages 12, 8, and 1 and we had a stroller with us which is not ideal. Our tour guide was soo patient and kind with our toddler who was.. being a toddler. It was august and super hot but she kept us mostly in the shade. Our kids loved the games and prizes she played with them. I think had it not been so so hot, we would have had a better time but that has nothing to do with the tour or the guide!”
