5.00We had a great guide, Tony. He provided us with just enough information about the places we visited. He was an excellent driver. We have seen many more places than expected. The scenery was beautiful and the temperature was excellent. Thank you.
Very confusing like being on two different tours at the same time.

2.00This was not a good experience. We were put off by a woman's AI commentary which sounded like it was reading randomly from a guide book. Over the top of that was the driver doing his own commentary as we drove around. The whole thing was very confusing and it felt like we were on two different tours at the same time. Why do you do this Mountain Goat, surely one or the other would be better?
Fantastic expert

5.00An absolutely wonderful day. Our tour guide and driver extraordinaire, Tony, was amazing. Incredible driving skills on high narrow roads! Provided just enough commentary to provide information without over doing it and distracting from the amazing scenery. Perfect weather. Stunning scenery. A fabulous day with a fabulous host. Will provide life long memories.
Brilliant Day Out

5.00A really enjoyable day (weather helped), and we covered a lot of ground and learned a lot. Tony really made it with his knowledge and sense of humour, he was a rock star! Excellent value too I thought.
Cheap but not cheerful

2.00I chose this tour because it was cheap. What a mistake! We quickly realised that it was the wrong choice because the tour ws done by a pre-recorded app with a patronising voice. It was dull and then boring and then irritating. Worse of all we were stuck with it all day!! Looking back, I wish I had booked the more expensive tour with another company because they have smaller buses and lovely drivers and guides who are full of knowledge and talk to you and answer all our quedtions (went on 2 tours with them earlier in week). My advice is spend a bit more and get a better experience.
