The tour was absolutely amazing! Lily and Ernest did a fantastic job making the experience enjoyable and memorable. Lily, our tour guide, was incredibly informative and passionate, which made the trip even more special. She shared so many interesting facts and made sure everyone was engaged throughout the day. The destinations were breathtaking, and everything was well-organized. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area. If I had to suggest an improvement, perhaps a little more time at certain stops would make it even better, but overall, it was an unforgettable experience!
