We really enjoyed the day with Aziz. Our driver/Guide was knowledgeable, personable, and kind. It was great getting out of the city to explore the surrounding country. The dinosaur museum was not to be missed - best I’ve ever experienced. The Hoodois were amazing as were the canyons, views and the town of Wayne. Don’t miss the Wayne ice cream shop and the last chance bar. Great way to spend the day with friends. We highly recommend the tour for all ages.
