Didn’t expect to be travelling for 14 hours. Think more info was needed Eg swim wear spare shoe etc Think things were rushed Poor value for the cost

Going with a small group meant the guide was flexible and able to make changes to work around the unpredictable weather. The views were amazing, the walks were breathtaking, and the guide knew exactly where and when to go to avoid crowds.

Our tour guide was lovely and patient and considerate with rest stops along the way,it didn’t feel like a long winded bus ride like many other tour operators.

Both times I’ve had an amazing time with great tour guides who we’re very knowledgeable and easy going. Would recommend to anyone and everyone
