Still giving this tour a 5 star rating although the first tour guide we met was rude. We were told we were with the second jeep that was on its way and we were relieved. Our actual tour guide was named Jay and he was one cool dude! He made the tour so much fun! He knew all of his material and then some. We were lucky to get a tour guide like him. We learned so many new things about the fault and the hiking was the right amount. Thank you for a great time! ( Tour 8/24 at 830)
This was a terrific tour. We were a bit concerned that maybe it would be dull but quite the opposite! The jeep was a fun ride, and the tour guide well informed and affable. We saw so many things, and learned a ton. Would definitely recommend.
Great tour! Great guide!
Friendly guide. We'll organised. Good information. Interesting
