4.00The lake is stunningly beautiful and the mountains are majestic The tour leader, Cat was very nice and friendly and she did her best given the large Asian group that joined us. They did not follow the rules, did not seat on their seats on the way back, went out the back in groups larger than 6 etc. Very rude people.
