***** BEST THING TO DO ON THE PENINSULA! this is an awesome tour. Jeff has a great knowledge of local history and also had some quirky sights to show and tales to tell. The views are fantastic even on a showery day. The absolute highlight would have to be the morning tea stop at a "mystery location" - yummy home made treats and a delightful little church with a fascinating history. not telling where it is... go on the tour!AdrienneJ15
