5.00This tour is a perfect winter adventure!! Habib was our tour guide and we had a very enjoyable time, he is very knowledgeable not only on the places we stopped at but everything along the way too. Habib went out of his way to make sure we were comfortable, got the best pictures and took our inputs into consideration. We were hesitant to book the tour due to no reviews but the company has other tours and this is a new one for winter. If you are considering this tour, don't hesitate. Recommend!!!
