👍👍 Absolutely fantastic treat! Captain Josh was very entertaining. Glenn and Jesse fantastic crew. All three are outdone by Finnegan the ship's dog. The best behaved dog I've ever seen! Fun if you want her to be but just as easy to have her go sit down if you are not a dog person. The boat itself...

👍👍 This was a fun walking tour that gave some good insight into the life of Ernest Hemmingway. Given the price paid, I was surprised that a quick walkthrough of the house wasn't included. The guides Carol and Mark were great and made it an enjoyable experience.
