Laura was a nice guide who kept up a light tour and engaged the small group of us on the tram. Would highly recommend for value and comprehensive tour of Avalon. Got some great pics too

Great tour!! Fast, but informative. Worked perfect for us:)
janette_b, October 2026
This was an excellent tour. Our tour guide Bear was knowledge and entertaining! We learned a lot about the Island and had some excellent views along the way! Bonus: we rode on a vintage bus, enclosed with A.C. and still I was able to capture great photos!
★★★★★Tripadvisor review
Great tour—one downfall!

We would recommend the tour and enjoyed it. Our tour guide was great. The only complaint is that he couldn’t stop briefly for us to take some awesome photos!

Melissa_P, October 2026
Great experience! Learned a lot about the history of the island and saw some great things I wouldn’t have known to look for such as the housing for the Cubs during Spring Training and Zane Grays home. Highly recommend!
