“It’s a long day but well worth it! Karen was our guide and she was excellent giving us a lot of historical details and pointing things out on the driving portions and including a few bonus stops. We didn’t feel rushed and there were music breaks from the historical Info so soak in the scenery and relax a bit. I don’t like to hire a car when traveling and this tour made it possible to see a lot”
