It was a full day experience that we truly enjoyed. The tour itself, the meals, and the guide were all well organized and well delivered. Just a heads up the bus journey is quite long. It can also get quite hot in the mountains. Our tour guide was fun and a bit quirky, but also very knowledgeable and engaging.
