Mike was great despite the overcast weather which was a bit of a disappointment. He made the hike informative and interesting and paced us well. We all plan to book with you again sometime in the future. Your sunset tour sounds particularly enticing. A great experience overall!!

Excellent outing! Our guide, Michael, was knowledgeable and helpful as we (70 yo couple) moved carefully up and down a number of demanding hills. The terrain was beautiful but not as easy as advertised. Fine for us, but could be problematic if one were not in good physical condition. Hope more people get to appreciate the lovely countryside so close to so many millions of people. And I left my rain jacket in Michael's backpack. The company kindly delivered it to our hotel with no hesitation. Much appreciated. A and T
