Richmond was an excellent guide, he was well prepared and extremely knowledgeable. He had visual aides to help explain certain items and was able to read his audience to make sure we all had an enjoyable and interesting time and would definitely recommend him to anyone. His good sense of humour added to his charm.

I took my three sons (18,13,6) on The San Andreas tour and it was awesome! Our guide Annie was wonderful. She was very knowledgeable and safe! It was truly a unique experience. The tour was three hours long and we were engaged the entire time. My boys didn’t want it to end!

Our driver/tour guide was very friendly, fun and knowledgeable about the area and the old stars homes. We would recommend this tour to anyone looking for a good time while learning about some history.
