Michelle and BoJo were the best! Can't wait to book our next ride. The private carriage ride is well worth the money. Michelle gave us a great history lesson and was entertaining as well. Oh, and she answered all of our questions as they came up. She also slowed down in areas of interest so we could take pictures. Also, don't forget to tip your guides! These guides are patient and professional. They deserve your gratitude.
