    I give our experience 4 stars only because the itinerary led us to believe that this tour involved more hiking. Our guide Kendra, deserves 10 stars! She was outstanding. Her knowledge, personality and commitment to our group having an exceptional experience was beyond exceptional. The organization of the tour, accommodations, transportation was excellent.

    Our guide Heidrun was somewhat new at being a guide on this trip, however her personality, energy and efforts made up for it, would recommend her and wouldn't have wanted anyone else. The driver Derek was great. Locations were nice but but was surprised with the amount of riding it required from one spot to another. Not really vegetarian friendly at the meals provided, but great options when you're on your own. Tourradar was excellent in booking the trip and quick at answering any questions prior to traveling. We would book through them again.
