Paul was amazing! So knowledgeable and love that he put the hiking. Day trip, off the grid spin on things. Have ups loads to think about for future visits. Massive thanks for pivoting due to massive storm we had to depart 2 hours late but Paul made it work and was so calm. We did not miss out on anything. The steam train- could be a miss- would rather stay longer in the towns, maybe make it optional?

It was an excellent day! We often say it's the company that matters, and for our family of four, it couldn't have been better. We had a wonderful time learning and exploring with our fantastic guide, David, a truly kind and gentle soul. He made sure we didn't miss our train ride, gave us plenty of time for food, and helped us capture some wonderful pictures along the way.
