Our tour guide was country. She was great! We really enjoyed the food. The only stop that wasn’t that great was the bee company Because it took up a lot of time and we received a micro piece of cheese. And all the other samples were just general public samples. So we felt like that was a little bit of a rip off

#1 Bailey was our tour guide and she was wonderful. The next day, we did a hop on hop off tour and realized that we had already learned a lot of the info from Bailey. In addition, I'm allergic to dairy and Bailey made sure that there was something delicious for me to eat at each stop. #2 Capital Bee Honey was fun and delicious. I learned abput honey and tasted several different kinds. Then after the tour, I went back and purchased several bottles and pumps. Delish. #3 I would have loved to learn a little more about why we stopped at each of the other restaurants. Granted, the food was delicious (except the fried pork chop, not my thing), but I would have liked to learn more about why that spot. All in all, it was great. I highly recommend Bailey as your tour guide.
