Peace in the Mountains
Published on Oct, 2024
We loved this day in the mountains. The whole experience was something our family will never forget. Our guide was so amazing…we had a two year old with is that was having a bad day and he was very patient, understanding, and caring. We had to make a few small adjustments and he was happy to do so for us.
Wonderful tour made possible by wonderful guide.

Our full day your was AMAZING ... because of the sites (which were spectacular) but mainly because of our guide, Michael. He was so friendly and made an immediate connection with us by clarifying what we wanted to see, why, and then forming the tour around that. At different points he would show us a helpful book or map. He recommended a fantastic spot for lunch, and most of all, helped us maximize seeing and learning all we could in the amount of time we had, never making us feel rushed. Highly recommend this tour, and highly recommend askign specifically for Michael.
Unreal tour
