- Guide Christofer and driver Mr. Yee were exceptional: knowledgeable, safe, and genuinely invested in the group's comfort.
- The pace is relentless with limited time at stops; you get an appetizer, not a meal, of each location.
- Food options are genuinely poor and optional activities lack clarity on pricing, availability, and timing until after booking.
- Bring cough drops, chapstick, and tissues; the dry mountain air and long drive days hit hard.
