Outstanding tour - highly recommended! - Outstanding tour! The guides are very knowledgeable, personable, and dedicated. The best word I can use to describe them is elegant. They are a dignified, capable, kind and distinguished couple in their 60’s. They clearly are not doing this for compensation but rather as a LS out of love. Thank you ! This is highly recommended!
