One guest said, "it's like drunk history but the guide isn't drunk...that's just her personality!"
There will be a bathroom/bar break half way through.
I am not a sheep herder, so my tour always has less than 10 guests. Gratuities are always appreciated.
*Age requirements: 18+ but if you have a cool kid who is tagging along, send me a message and we can figure out if the tour will be okay for them.
