Papa Bear for the win!
My husband and I had the best time in the tour with Papa Bear! He was very sweet and funny and informative! The nickname Papa Bear really says it all! This experience felt unique and personal, and I’d love to do it again in the future with Papa Bear! On the whole we’re very happy with our experience! I did deduct a few stars for the meeting / pickup because after we had been directed to a specific bus, we were told to exit and get onto a different one. In the pouring rain. 9/10 overall, but 10/10 if we didn’t have to get back out into the rain with three other groups.
