Great day exploring the upper west region

We had a great guide who was a well spoken young man named Daðe and he was extremely helpful and knowledgeable about the area and history. The scenery was epic and the bus was clean and comfortable.

Beautiful excursion

Very beautiful excursion, well thought out. But a guide who was far too talkative and a half-hour delay for the return time. That could have been annoying for the cruise departure.

Don’t book this tour

You don’t stop for lunch the entire 5 hours! Too many people for 1 tour, and every stop someone was late.
