“Loved this tour - It was so good not to be part of the cruise ship shore excursion car convoy doing the similar tour as us. It was good to only have 3 to a car so that each person had a window seat. And when we arrived at the spots to stop, we were the only ones there. It was so peaceful with stunning scenery.” - Reviewed on 2023-05-23
