Superb tour, greatly enjoyed by all who took part.
Excellent! Now considering winter tour for our group.
Always a joy. Different guides all have different stories.
The tour guide showed excellent knowledge and gave a most enjoyable talk.
We loved our time here and I think many of our group will revisit.
