“Our guided tour was beyond what we excepted for this price. Harry, a trained mountain rescuer, made us feel very safe all the way from the car ride up on the curvy roads to hiking at the top of the mountains. He knows the area very well. He is running the business with his family with lots of love to details and was just the perfect host. Next time I’m in the area, will definitely do another tour with his business. Highly recommend. Tour is a nice little workout and totally worth it!”
