    Tour manager was extraordinary. He took care of every detail without making a big deal about it. As a guest it seemed as if everything ran as smoothly as possible.

    The whole tour was amazing. I especially loved the stops along the way to our destination, like the artichoke farm or the apple orchard. Yosemite was amazing and watching Free Solo on the way back after seeing El Capitan,was perfect!
