The guide Andy was exceptional. He made sure we didn't miss anything - not only the nature, but history and views. He managed to make happy everybody in the group suggesting and providing different options for people with different interests and mobility.

Our tour guide and his wife gave excellent information about the towns and coiuntryside as we traveled, then talked about the history, geology, and significance of the sites we visited. I highly recommend viator, and will use them again for excursions.
