This trip was well worth it and so much fun! Our guide John was knowledgeable about so many things, and it was a beautiful day for a visit. We ran into a hiccup with our food stop, but John was adaptable and was always in a good mood and found the group an alternative. The views were amazing! John took us to the best spots especially for pictures. Overall, we loved this day trip for our anniversary. Highly recommend it!

Rainier, making sure we had plenty of time to explore and enjoy each one. The day was packed with stunning sights and unforgettable experiences, thanks to his careful planning and deep knowledge of the area.
