She has history of the area and a lot of knowledge to share. She has a funny personality and her snd Sailor make a perfect team. Thanks for the memories, Kathe!

While my wife and I were staying at a nearby hotel, the employee spoke to my wife in an aggressive, disrespectful, and completely unprofessional manner. Regardless of the situation, there was no reason for her to be treated that way. Customers and visitors should be spoken to with basic courtesy and respect. This interaction left us with a very negative impression of AMI Dolphin Tours, and I hope management addresses the employee's behavior so others do not have a similar experience.
