Customer Reviews

  • star rating  We had an absolutely amazing time from start to finish with Zoller's! Lizzie was wonderful with our two rambunctious kids (5 and 8), the younger whom was scared at... read more the onset, felt entirely comfortable and brave under her care and was laughing and joking with her shortly. Our older son absolutely loved every second of it and wanted to extend the trip! Lizzie was very patient with our endless questions about the scenery, infrastructure and other random visitor banter!

After your tour, be sure to visit their gift shop for your hilarious in action photos then hit up the coffee/burrito truck across the street.
