    We had an excellent experience, Angela the guide was super (safe driving, clear communication, kind willingness to adjust, in my case recommending alternate walks when the group was embarked on a hike a bit above my level), hotels comfortable, food very good. Another lovely trip purchased from Tour Radar!
