“The guide was very knowledgeable and the tour was very interesting. I think the tour is a bit expensive especially if the guide expecting tip, as the geologist already said to as after she collected as that tipping is expected.

“Fantastic experience with our guide Alain, he has a l9t of information and knowledge to share.

“The trip was fantastic. The guide was a delight. What was most important to me was the amount of communication I received. I had never heard of this tour group, so was a little concerned about payment, pick up location, and being dropped off at the airport on time. It all went smoothly, communication was immediately answered, maps were sent, pick up time was almost to the minute. No need to worry about booking with this group. As far as the trip, it was great and our guide Ian was very knowledgeable. We had a guest who had a language barrier and he did everything he could to help her...…”

“We had the most diverse weather imaginable. Winds, snow, sun, rain, sleet and hail changing many times each hour. The guide tailored our day around this and our preferences for alternative locations and activities when necessary. That was a real saviour of having a private guide. The downside was the 4x4 vehicle was in for repair and a car was used without consulting us before picking us up. The guide was very apologetic and promised to make it up to us which he did and still got us to the same locations plus extra. The caving was a great experience and some other fascinating locations. Not wanting to give to…”
