Great day trip in a comfy van. Habib showed us lots of scenic spots around the area and the grand finale was the hike up to the frozen grotto. It was amazing! It was also pretty rugged so be aware of your abilities. Habib was wonderful 5 stars!

Published on Dec, 2024

Habib was extremely knowledgeable of the area where we were vacationing Took us to the most breathtaking spots. Our vacation would have not been this memorable had it not been for Habib. He made sure to capture our awestruck moments along the way. Would highly recommend booking. Book with Habib!

Great winter adventure

Published on Dec, 2024

This tour is a perfect winter adventure!! Habib was our tour guide and we had a very enjoyable time, he is very knowledgeable not only on the places we stopped at but everything along the way too. Habib went out of his way to make sure we were comfortable, got the best pictures and took our inputs into consideration. We were hesitant to book the tour due to no reviews but the company has other tours and this is a new one for winter. If you are considering this tour, don't hesitate. Recommend!!!
