Molly rated this tour a 5 on 8/8/2011 1:54:31 AM and says:

"If you are in the mood to relax, see beautiful scenery and enjoy fresh seafood, this is the trip for you.  We normally just take road trips, but found hotels prices higher than normal this year so this ended up being the best value.  We met some very nice people and have a wonderful vacation.
