Driving Guide Recommendation

4.00The guide was very informative and we stopped at all of the recommended places! My only complaint is that we also had to download and pay for a phone app to listen to the guide. We rest enjoyed visiting the two old mining towns as well as the recommended lunch stop. It turned out to be a nice substitute activity for the day!

5.00We’ve travelled this route many times but have never known the history, stories, legends and characteristics of this iconic drive. David’s clear and soothing voice bought this journey alive and we were captivated the entire way. Highly recommended and a must do!
