Loved our tour with Arhur. He was so friendly and obliging. We wanted to see and play in the snow, so he took us up and we played and loved it! The snow was deep, and was so great for desert kids like us, to feel the cold on our bones 🤣 We were so fortunate to be involved in Easter Sunday services at the monasteries, which is something we will never forget. Our driver was safe, considerate, helpful and was knowledgeable and happy to share what he knew about the area. Thank you Arhur,
Dear Trudy, we are delighted to hear you enjoyed your tour with Arthur! It's wonderful that he made sure you had a memorable experience, from playing in the snow to participating in Easter Sunday services. We'll be sure to pass on your kind words to Arthur.
