I believe our guide was Chris, and he was so knowledgeable which made our tour so much better. We learned so many things none of us knew about butterflies... read more and know that it was because of his knowledge that we were able to learn these facts. I highly recommend the tour, however, as we learned going a little later in the morning when the butterflies are active would have been even better.
