Full day of beauty! Worth the money spent. - This day trip was such a great experience. Our tour guide Lady K was awesome. She had such a great personality and was very informative. The stops we made had so much beauty to be seen and great photo opportunities. We were picked up/ dropped off at our hotel. The time frame advertised was precise and she was on time for pick up. The trails were very easy to walk. I would recommend a tennis shoe for the rain when it occurs for traction on pavement. The lunch served at the golf course was very good! It was nice to relax and have someone do the driving. Especially having to go to the top of the mountain! Overall worth the money spent.

Good tour, but bad tour guide - While the bus was comfortable, the sights amazing and the lunch enjoyable, our tour guide was not very knowledgeable and he was extremely boring.
