David was the perfect guide for Montserrat and his knowledge of the tour was incredible. He knew so many facts and information that only a guide with an interest in sharing knowledge would know. Despite the rain at times , he altered activities to accommodate the weather but we still were able to see everything we wanted and hike back from the cross on the hill. His tips for us did not end when the day ended. We had also hired him for the next day. He gave us restaurant and wine suggestions too!barifradin
