The destinations were amazing, though there were 1000s of tourists.

Tour was well organized and super fun. Views were great. The minibus dropped me off a few KM from my hotel which was an exhausting walk after a long day.

Trustworthy, kind, reliable

Couldn’t recommend the service more, a very kind and helpful lady talked us through all the tours twice as we couldn’t decide, she was very patient with us and the excursion itself ran very smoothly - we had a great day. Very trustworthy company!
