“A lovely tour and a lot of history to go through. Excellent tour guides. Unfortunately the system on the bus meant that whenever the tour guide spoke no one else was allowed to speak as it would travel through the bus. This led to some people getting very upset with other passengers and I personally was harassed verbally by another passenger which the tour guides didn’t do anything about. Personally, I wouldn’t recommend the tour just based on that and go with a service that does a private experience. I had to endure that harassment all day and my elderly mother was very upset. The actual plantation and boat tours…”
