“When booking, Trevor, our guide, sends a specific email telling you exactly how it will work once we get off the ship. This helped immensely. Trevor, in our opinion, went above and beyond, waiting for others to arrive….calls, emails, waited for last shuttle. A half hour to be exact! He even stayed after ours to see if they showed up for the second time slot, which he gave as an option. They were a no show. So We had Trevor all to ourselves! He did a fabulous job. Catering the tour to what we would want to see. Extremely knowledgeable in the topic. We enjoyed it throughly.”
