    Absolutely wonderful tour, our guide Liam was excellent, he told us some very interesting stories and shared the history of the area. The scenery was breathtaking, my photos of the Fairy Pools do not do it justice, you have to see it to really understand it. The accommodations were fantastic, quiet, clean, very comfortable with a wonderful breakfast. The host was such a lovely person. I would highly recommend doing this tour…you will not be disappointed.
