everything was great - everything is great - the tour, the guide, the sights, the food the guide is knowledgeable and both the guide and the driver are friendly and flexible the weather was ever-changing but it's so great that it snowed at gerghard and then it was warm and sudden when we were at the gorge. The snow was an unexpected pleasant experience for us all
