The places we stopped were beautiful and the guide knew a lot about the area.
There was some weirdess though. He for some reason though he would share with us that the battle for women's pay and job opportunity equity has "largely been won" in the USA. Imagine my surprise as a woman to find this out. The reason he knows this is that there are some women CEO's, therefore there must be no discimination. He also assured us that they are doing a great job because women have "a different skill set."
Later in the tour we stopped at a very busy spot for a bathroom/view break. The actual bathrooms were closed but there were fout portapotties that had been absolutely trashed. I thought he might want to know this and also might rather hear it in person rather than in a review after the fact, so I discretely mentioned to him that it might be a good idea to stop at one of the other options before that because the portapotties were not in good shape. He told me I shouldn't expect a five star bathroom in the mountains and he thought everybody would be able to wait an hour for a bathroom stop. So he did not listen to what I was telling him and got all snotty and defensive.
Later on in the trip he made another odd comment, asking me if I wanted to take a picture of this particular spot because I had "taken so long in the bathroom" and might not have had time to take one. What?
As the reviewer below said, we did not visit the resort. Supposedly the resort wanted to charge each one of his customers 50$ to walk around the resort. That sounds a little unlikely to me.
If I do take another trip in the area, I will be looking to see if it is this company in order to avoid spending another day with this man.

Hi Meredith,
Thanks for the review. I do great apologize for complimenting women on winning a victorious battle like equal rights in work place. I had no idea this would be offensive. Also, I did remind everyone well before we left Boston that we were heading to the mountains. Just in case you missed the headline of this tour, it is a mountain tour. At no point in time do we go longer than an hour without a bathroom break of some kind. I make the bathroom situation very very clear. Yes, in fact the Mount Washington resort does want to take advantage of me bringing so many people up there which is why we stop across the street and not on the property.
