“My wife and I traveled with our young adult son and a friend. We had a wonderful day. The transportation was clean and comfortable, and above all else, our guide was a pleasure with whom to spend the day. He was very knowledgeable with regard to regional history, related social issues, and really anything that we asked about. The soak in the hot pools was a nice way to end the trip, but overcrowding could potentially be a bit of an issue during peak days (we were out of season so not an issue). Overall, I highly recommend the trip.Read more”
