It was very relaxing and the hosts were easy to communicate with and informative. Overall, it was a wonderful time. Ask for Kevin as a tour guide on the hike-he was the best photographer and really helped capture how awesome the experience was.

Our driver, Livingston, and tour guides, Kaylor and company were wonderful! Our family had a great time!
