Special Day - This experience was really enjoyable and unique. It would have been difficult to replicate on our own. Our guide, Alex, was knowledgeable and patient with our questions. He was careful to respect the communities we visited and explained things to us clearly. We very much enjoyed our day and would recommend it to our friends.
