5/5
John was a great tour guide on our city tour and bat boat trip.

5/5
Hotel pickup was super convenient. Mercedes Van was comfortable and great A/C! Mike, our guide, was down to earth and friendly. He taught us about the local area as we drove around before boarding the boat closer to sunset. Only 6 of us in the group so boat was spacious and comfortable. Definitely recommend traveling with SeeSights because their boat has a cover overhead to prevent any bat guano from dropping on us! Casual, laid back evening with excellent views of the emerging bats!! Loved every minute. Highly recommend!!

5/5
Really fun tour, from the time the tour operator picked us up from the hotel, the drive around city tour, then the actual sunset boat cruise. Seeing and learning about all the bats and the great energy and joy surrounding the event was magical!
