Incredibly knowledgeable and full of interesting stories. Any questions we asked just led to more interesting information and stories. The places we went to were all over - we can't imagine trying to do this ourselves without a knowledgeable, local guide - we would have missed so much. We really appreciated the pace and communication. Can't recommend this guide or tour enough!”
