Beautiful Day for the water. The Team was fully accommodating from beginning to end. We had to reschedule due to the cloudy skies and they were fully supportive and understanding. Thank you Mary. Pick up and drop off by Christos, an explanation of the sites by Paul, and an amazing and safe boat ride by John (to include his chef skills)— all worth it. , A great experience!, Excellent!, A great experience!
