Our guide Marie was excellent. She listened to what we wanted to do and crafted the trip to our wishes. She was so well prepared and helped us better appreciate what we were seeing and experiencing. She was also fun to be with and it was more like a friend was showing us around. She is a treasure and I hope she has a long and successful career in history and dealing with the public.

      Thank you for your assistance. Everything went smoothly, except that the ship was late in getting the passengers off to start the day, but that was not your fault and was quickly forgotten. We had a great experience and could not be happier with you company and with Marie.
