One of our groups and the tour guide that attended this tour love sharing this story! - A fun memory- this was a very small group and they decided they wanted to stop and try Oyster Shooters from one of the restaurants that has a bar located inside. Everyone was blown away by this Oyster Shooter, and it took the tour guide three tries to swallow the shooter. The guests laughed and laughed at the guide who have such a difficult time getting that Oyster Shooter down!!
