It was an amazing trip. All the stops were very photogenic and great views. The guide was very knowledgeable. We stopped along the way for coffee and food at the end. Everything was great, it was a little rushed as far as the time we would spend at each place , maybe an extra 10 mins but we managed to get all the pics in ! Highly recommend
