“During a tour the tour guide either makes or breaks the whole experience. Andrew knocked it out of the park. He was funny and so laid back. He felt more like a friend showing us around than anything else. He rolled with the punches and would stop when we wanted to stop and check out the black pineapples or get an ice cream or stop at the local fruit stand. During our last ice cream stop I realized that we went over the six hour and he was just so chill. Having rented a car myself I wasn’t sure if this tour was needed but after doing it with him…”
