Her humor, her insight, her in depth details, her personal stories all made the historical sites all the more meaningful. It was awesome as a solo woman to get this private tour and transport, compared to how most other tours are jam packed buses with enormous group sizes on a tight schedule.

Linda informed us in the afternoon and was very clear with where to meet. During the trip, she made sure that we were informed about the long Queue at slide, in case we could not play with it if the queue was closed.
