Wonderful Experience. Highly recommended. - Lee was our guide for today, she was just wonderful. So patient, engaging and resourceful. If not for her and left to us on our own, we wouldn't have navigated even 1/10th of what we saw today. Many thanks to her and the tour operator. I would strongly recommend this tour.

Fall colors, rainbows and waterfalls… - It was a terrific day. Adriana made it very enjoyable. She was very knowledgeable about the region and some very interesting history facts. She really made the day. The fall colors were vibrant. In addition to the waterfalls and fall foliage, there were rainbows over the mountains. Excellent day!

Amazing Waterfall Trop - The whole day was perfect. Laurie really made the trip! She was so knowledgeable about not only the waterfalls but also things going on locally. I would give her and the trip a 10+ if I could. The number of waterfalls was amazing and some very near the road. The scenery was spectacular. Laurie is a professional photographer and she took some pictures of us that she forwarded to us that were really good. We are not photographers, so that was a real plus for us as well,

Great tour - The waterfall tour was great. And the views of both the falls and surrounding area was breathtaking. Above all our tour guide Lori was amazing. Knowledgeable, interesting and entertaining. We have been on dozens of tours over the past few years and none more scenic or enhanced by such a wonderful tour guide.

Beautiful and Above & Beyond - Every aspect of this experience was amazing. The scenery was gorgeous and the entire process was easy and personalized to our needs. Dennis and AJ were both very knowledgable and easy to communicate with. AJ went above and beyond tailoring the tour to our needs and surprised us with a picnic lunch as well as being our personal photographer. We were visiting for a family girls weekend with ages ranging from 40-75 and the walking portion was easily accessible for all of us. We all thoroughly enjoyed this experience and would definitely recommend this tour.

Fun way to spend the day - The waterfalls were beautiful, hikes were challenging in places but doable. Lee our guide was great, very amiable and flexible to what we wanted to do and prepared, sunscreen, insect repellent, water and fantastic snacks! The time in the car driving to each location was longer than we thought it would be.

Enjoyable Day - We loved being driven around so we could look at the scenery and enjoy the ride. Adriana, was very personable, accommodating and an excellent driver. Her vehicle was very comfortable. She had a box of snacks and a cooler of soft drinks and water. We did wish she had told us more about what we were seeing and the history of the area. I live not far from the area we travelled so perhaps she didn’t feel the need but my traveling companion is not local. But overall, we enjoyed our day very much.

Just Not It - I have previously booked private tours through "Trip Advisor". Each experience has been 5 Stars with the exception of this one. Private tours are pricey but I am willing to pay for the enhanced experience or so called VIP experience. This one has caused me to question whether further private tours through "Trip Advisor" are in my future. Objectively, the tour provided all per the description. However, the area is rich with natural beauty and steeped in history. The information concerning both was lacking. The conversation, as stated by my fellow trip advisor traveler, Nancy, was not appropriate to say the least. During a five hour tour, conversation and some personal information is expected and welcome. The content of the conversation on this tour far exceeded this. At times, the conversation made us feel uncomfortable. The level of disclosure compromised the enjoyment of the tour touched on themes not appropriate for a family. As this is advertised as a VIP tour, it is reasonable to assume a level of professionalism and decorum. Additionally, knowledge is expected concerning the content of the tour. The vehicle needed some attention. It was not mal odorus, but it had a stint that was less than pleasant to endure for five hours. The lunch stop was Tex Mex or Mexican. I, mistakenly, assumed that the stop would be at a restaurant that was not cuisine specific as I do not care for Tex Mex. Had I been given a heads up, I would have opted for another restaurant.

Last minute cancellation by tour operator - We were so looking forward to this trip. However, 3 days before the trip we were phoned by Globetrekkers who canceled it. Apparently only one tour guide available and he was ill. Now stuck with no tours for this day.
