We had so much fun - would deffo recommend. Michael was fantastic! He knew all of the best spots for photos, he was insightful, kind, and patient. The 7am start was great as we had the whole thing to ourselves and avoided the queues. We could take as much time as we liked in each spot.

Such a fun trip and such a fun guide! We went in Winter and the only snowy season that they've seen lately and we still had such an amazing time thanks to our guide. Local to the area had a wealth of information in history and knew the best places to buy treasures
