5.00Get Garrett for your tour guide. Period. And Mony for the second guide. Both are precious. Garrett is hilarious and so sweet and knowledgeable. We went during the Christmas season and so some of the itinerary changed at the last minute ( also due to unexpected snow and ice) so just be prepared to be flexible and go with the flow. Connecting with them before the tour was very easy. Highly recommend. We learned so much!
