The fusion Greek/mexican gyro/quesadilla was the bomb. Could have eaten two. All in all we enjoyed trying new places and enjoying being out of our comfort zone. Would absolutely recommend this tour.”

I was starting to feel like I wouldn’t be able to follow the instructions cause it seemed a bit overwhelming, he reassured me I would be ok, and if not I can return the go cart and not have to finish the tour. I really enjoyed this and will definitely do it again, I’m thinking I’ll upgrade to the electric go car. And I will definitely recommend this to all my friends and family.”
