Reviews & Ratings
report as inappropriateThe guide was a high school or college student and didn't know much about anything. The tour is very short, uninformative, and pretty boring. Even my six-year-old niece was not amused.
report as inappropriateEntertaining host. They had cancelled the tour I signed up for but gave us a free upgrade to a longer tour. Very cold even on a day in the '60s! I should have known better :).
report as inappropriateLet's call it tour lite and thrill lite. Not really a tour and not really a thrill ride. It is good for a half hour ride on the lake on a nice day. Don't go out of your way for this one.
report as inappropriateThe tour was awesome. It was very chilly the night we went, but the tour was great and the fireworks view was amazing! I highly recommend!
