“The trip was wonderful! Chrissie was super helpful helping us come up with a packed itinerary to accommodate a lot of different requests. George and Russ were our guides. They were wonderful. Some of our morning stops were taking a bit longer than we expected and George helped us rearrange some plans so we weren't rushed and got to enjoy the day. Both guys were lovely, funny and so accommodating! We all felt safe on the car for the long day. Also one of the few toura that would take our toddler in the car.”
