We went on this tour with Richard back in early December 2017. While you can certainly find cheap taxis to bring you all around, he gave us a one-of-a-kind experience, driving us through the mountains to each of the sites, pulling over at scenic points along the way to explain more of the history of the land and take great photos. He is so educated and professional, and we not only loved seeing these breathtaking sites but also learning so much about them so they would actually mean something to us. Thank you for a memorable tour!
