We booked this the day of, and we are so glad that we did! There is no way we could have gone all the places we did on our own. Plus, the knowledge that Matty had of the area was astounding and so informative. You could tell he had a great love for the area and was able to pass that along. He was very kind, patient and an endless source of information. He made sure that our two younger children were able to see and touch snow, and that meant so much to them and us (being from Texas). I highly recommend this tour and using Matty! This tour was worth every penny! The picture opportunities were endless!
