Good value, if you are just looking at a day trip that does not involve waking up at 4am.
Our host is very friendly, helpful and informative. Driver is very professional and safe. If we can skip the textile shop and spare more time in Moray to walk and eat there, it will make a better trip. But overall, the value for money is very good.
I had an awesome time. Thanks for everything.
An amazing tour, our guide was informative and explain everything well in English for us. Well organised. Highly recommended by my whole group
Wonderful tour for the cost! I continue to have my breath taken away by these landscapes from the Inca people!
