We had a great boat tour today! Really enjoyed learning all about Buffalo! I didn't get a wiff of Cherios or Lucky Charms but I wish I could have! 😀 Marla is not only extremely knowledgeable, but also very eloquent and fun to listen to. She held our attention the whole time. Coming on this cruise was a last minute decision, but my husband and I were so glad we did!
