Paul was great. Very knowledgeable and a very good tour guide. Would definitely recommend Anna come back as long as we can get Paul a another tour guide.

Paul was excellent! We were pleasantly surprised to learn that everyone else who signed up cancelled the morning of, leaving Paul all to ourselves that morning. Paul was incredibly knowledgeable and truly has a passion for all things nature. Neither myself or my boyfriend would consider ourselves "outdoorsy", but he made it fun and so enjoyable. The tour was truly one of the highlights from our vacation.

We love a impromptu solo tour! Paul appreciates this kind of feedback, especially when he gets to offer an experience that you may have not had otherwise. We really appreciate this review and hope to see you again on the trail!

Our guide, Eli was indeed an expert naturalist and excellent guide. Pointed out gorgeous vista, brought us to waterfalls, and was friendly, professional, and informative the whole time. I travelled with two teenage boys (my grandsons), who later told their parents how impressed they were with Eli! (And that is a supreme compliment!)

We are very happy to know Eli made such a great impression on the kiddos! We would love to take you out again and next time bring the whole family! Thanks for this review Lillian!
