Great and guide answered all questions we had and I’m sure would have answered more. Loved it and very interested in learning more and maybe studying the online classes.

Great experience. Not sure how the draught impacts the ability to collect rain water unless the tank is big enough to to collect when there's a massive storm. Great tour.

Interesting but disappointing. Felt like the tour guide was being evasive and coy with many of the questions asked. I was hoping to see some newer innovations. Secondly, apparently maintenance and appearance is not high priority. Self-sustaining energy needs to become more main stream but it’s hard to sell public on that when it looks like you have to step back To Third World conditions to obtain that. Signing a waiver does not cover negligence. I’d be embarrassed to offer that tour.

We learned a ton. Tour guide was engaging and knowledgeable. We felt the tour could have benefitted from more structure to keep to the planned time. Our classroom time went 80 minutes instead of 40. A slide show demonstrating the concepts and finished look would have been helpful and broken up the classroom time. Demos would be cool - walking and talking could also make the tour move along faster while giving visual examples of the concepts and values discussed. We appreciate your work!

So glad I was finally able to go! Ryan was a kind and patient guide who answered all questions in our large group and made sure that everyone was included. The architecture of the EarthShips is so beautiful and unique and the off-the- grid self-sufficiency of the homes, how they are built and their systems, all of it is so encouraging. Thanks again to Ryan and to all members of the Greater Community for having us.
