The tour guides were very knowledgeable. There is a shuttle that you can hop on and off of if you do not want to walk the whole path. We took the shuttle to the top of the hill and walked back down…Full review by Imyourtallcool1

Pretty much what others have said. If you take the guided bus tour you may want to call them and see if they accommodate strollers on the bus.
