We had a wonderful experience and look forward to booking again in the future!
Nancy was an amazing tour guide. She knows so much and is delightful! She was the best part of the tour and looking forward to coming back on this tour in the summer. I liked Nancy so much I have told a few co-workers who will be planning a trip soon.
Response from Virgin Gifts
That's so great to hear! I can't say I'm surprised, though it never gets old hearing of how awesome our partners truly are - I will be sure to pass this along to them! They will be so excited to know that Nancy made the tour special for you guys. I can't wait to get your co-workers out there as well, and hey, no one says you can't do the same tour twice! I'm certain Nancy could treat you guys to even more fun facts and delicious food! Cheers, Jake.
