Sophie was a lovely guide - very knowledgeable and fantastic to spend time with! One of the friendliest guides I have ever met; good afternoon flew by and my husband and I were sad to see the tour end

This was our last tour of our trip. Was very fun and Sharan is very knowledgeable and had so many local tales to share that we would never have learned.
