5.00This excursion was our favorite. John, our guide, is a natural storyteller. As well as a super friendly, likeable guy. He is the best guide I have ever had, in all the trips I've taken around the world. The driver, Micheal, was also wonderful and super friendly. I loved everything about the tour, especially the sheep dog herding exhibition.
