This trip exceeded our expectations. Largely because of the professionalism, knowledge and passion of our guide Freddy. Our driver Marcus was excellent, and always there to help people on and off the bus. He drove safely, they make a brilliant team. We learned far more than we would from Your books. Nothing like being guided by an expert. Thank you both, it was a delightful and memorable day. Margaret and Jim

Overall, it was a very nice tour where you see a lot of places and lakes. Sometimes you would like to stay a little longer at the different viewpoints. But of course that's not always possible due to the distance to be covered. Our guide Isis gave us a lot of information about the national park and the area during the trip and was very knowledgeable.

The driver and tour guide were both incredibly friendly. Moreover, the guide was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful.

I enjoyed every part of it. Well organized, super friendly and knowledgeable guide. It’s well worth your money.

The tour was very nice and the tour guide told us a lot and was very nice. I can only recommend the tour
