My experience with the guide and ease to get around to see sights that are otherwise difficult without a car was a bonus. Gave me the opportunity to travel with new people I wouldn't have otherwise met.

This was a well planned and organized trip full of activities that were both classic and off the beaten path. Hiking in a group in this kind of terrain and in the shoulder season weather is much more enjoyable than doing it solo!
