4.00The guide was excellent and helpful, the route and location was very nice, however this is an activity that visitors who do rent a vehicle, like we did, should be able to make it on their own, in our opinion.
Not what we expected

5.00Highly recommend this tour and the company Nomad Tours we had a great trip.We were picked up in a Tesla not what we expected by Rachel our tour guide. This was because we were the only guests on the tour today. I was impressed that the company honoured our booking even though there was only the two of us going. Rachel was extremely knowledgeable and friendly guide more like a friend than a guide which made the afternoon very enjoyable. The scenery was amazing and the track was not difficult. On the way back Rachel received a call from the company to assist another tour group as one of their guests was ill and needed extra help transporting the remaining guests back. This meant we returned in the company bus not the Tesla but it was fine. I was impressed with the professionalism and care the company provided. Well done
Intetesting and enjoyable afternoon

5.00Scenic drive to the track head. It’s so wonderful to hike in the beautiful national park. Appreciate the small group offered Nomad Safari. We only wish we booked the whole day one to get more exercise.
Nice guide but not much to see

4.00Our guide was very nice, who was waiting at our hotel door before the scheduled time. He was very nice to explain to us about the various plants in the forest. But there was not much to see during the 2 hour walk in the forest, which was a bit disappointed.
