Great way to explore an awesome city!
Our tour was so fun! Every stop was well-planned and tables were waiting for us. We met the owner/manager and learned about the menu, enjoyed awesome food and drinks (including beer/wine), and learned so much about the history of Crystal River. Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly, prepared, and fun. We went with several friends who all enjoyed it, and met others who became friends!
