Our tour guide, Leon, was a perfect person for the job. His knowledge was extensive and he was a very good driver. He took great care of each and every one of us, ensuring that our needs were met. He was professional, friendly and courteous, and went out of his way to see that we were safe and happy in the extraordinarily windy conditions. Add to that the beautiful scenery, the fun truck ride and the lovely bush walks. We had a great time! We'd definitely do it again. Thanks Leon.
