Amazing. So accommodating and helpful in every way. We have been on many tours but everyone went above to make sure you were doing alright! Our guide Toy, was so sweet! You can tell she loves people and loves what she does! If we do it again we would 100% be choosing this company. We got lucky with great weather this time of the year and they made sure we enjoyed our time and each stop . :)
