Shawn was great. Very informative and found great spots to see the beautiful mountains, lakes, some homes, and more. Being a solo traveler, I was very comfortable and felt safe. Even had some music and movie talks. Shawn stayed on time and made sure there were bathroom breaks. This was a great tour, highly recommend!
We took two guided tours...

We took two guided tours by Sean. This was the second tour. It was just as nice as the first tour. He was extremely informative, polite, and full of information about the surrounding area. I recommend him without reservation.
It's worth it.
