The tour was simply amazing. Stuart was the best guide ever, very knowledgeable and funny. The group got along great and we had a marvelous time. Oh and the weather was chill, but not that cold, which made the experience even more enjoyable. I definitely recommend this tour, especially with Stuart. You’ll even end up with a bunch of amazing photos from the best guide/photographer =D
We loved it.
