“The guide A.J. was amazing! Funny and just communicative enough not to be annoying as some people get. The tour was nice and fun, there wasn't much snow so we didn't quite see what we came for, but the nature was amazing anyways, the hike wasn't too hard even for people who are not in shape. We got all the equipment, snacks and drinks which was nice. A.J.was telling us a lot of fun facts about the nature and landscape, showed us some animal tracks, took great photos of us! The only thing I didn't like was the van, it was crammed with two rows of seat facing each other…”
