    This may be a repeat review but it was excellent and I highly recommend. The guide was very knowledgeable and responsive and prompt. I probably paid more than I would have on a regular tour just because there was no set price and I paid him what I felt the quality of the tour was. He was generous with his time, so I was generous with my wallet. Please don’t stiff this gentleman as he has taken the time to invest in himself and his craft and deserves to be rewarded for the quality of the tour
