    · August 11th, 2021
    Amazing experience and everything was as represented. The only suggestion I have is that the weather was very hot (over 100 degrees), and the vehicle we toured in did not have sufficient AC to cool us in the back seat. Consider the weather before booking this trip as it includes outdoor activities and hiking.
